'''F4''' was comprised of [[2003]] campers [[Dan Chen]], [[Jeffrey Ian Chen|Ian Chen]], [[Barry Huang]], and [[Quentin Tai]]. All were returning campers (Ian since 1997, Dan and Barry since 1999, and Quentin since 2000) in their last year of camper eligibility, celebrating their "last hurrah" at [[WMACS]] (although all 4 would go on to become counselors). F4 was in the oldest boy group under counselor [[Mok-yi Chow]] (who had been Ian and Barry's counselor for 5 consecutive years and Dan and Quentin's for 4), joined by fellow returning campers such as [[Barnaby Yeh]], [[Bernard Peng]], and [[Kevin Mao]]. However, these particular four had formed a unique bond over the past five years through camp, countless other get-togethers, online communications, and computer gaming.

During camp, besides being among the most visible and well-recognized campers, they were essentially counselors-in-training (CITs), assisting the counselors in planning and execution, guiding the younger campers, leading their teams, and doing much of the "grunt work" for the staff, especially camp director [[Hai-Yu Bien|Bien Shu Shu]]. The camper-counselor gap was further blurred by the presence of long-time campers and close friends of F4 [[Brett Chung]], [[Thomas Chu]], [[James Lien]], and [[Glenda Fu]] as counselors.

From beginning to end, F4 was inseparable, resulting in an exceptionally memorable week at [[Frostburg State University|Frostburg]]. The week culminated in [[Skit Night]], during which F4 chose to perform [[Eagle Eye Cherry - Save Tonight|Save Tonight]] by Eagle Eye Cherry as their final "skit song," a long-running tradition since [[2000]], and during the [[End-of-Week Party|Dance]], at which "Save Tonight" came to symbolize F4's attitude in savoring their final night as campers.

Despite a tearful farewell, F4 continued to gather periodically and, as mentioned above, have all returned as counselors at some point (though never all 4 at once): Ian and Barry in [[2004]], Ian and Dan in [[2005]], and Dan, Barry, and Quentin in [[2006]]. Whether in person or in legend, all four are sure to remain on the WMACS scene for years to come.
