Meet 4/C Cameron McManus, a Marine Transportation major from Lake Como, New Jersey

Cameron attended St. Rose Grammar School from kindergarten to grade eight.  He graduated from St. Rose High School.


Cameron’s proud mom was eager to talk about her son, “We live at the beach and have been going since Cam was born. Any time we travel we find ourselves near the water. The ocean has always been a part of his life.  Living on a lake and so close to the ocean offers many opportunities for boating and fishing. Cam has always felt comfortable on a boat, surfing, fishing and on the water.
