Camp was a life changing experience for me. Ok, that's a little overdramatic. But you know what I mean. I was trying to think about all of the funny/meaningful memories I have for just the two years I worked there.
For 1991:
· Two sessions in particular stand out:
--MAD camp: to me it was just the right mix of campers and staff, very special
--Diabetic camp working with Kristin, Nathan, and Brett and those kids…some of the best times ever that still make me laugh out loud
· Amy’s snipe hunt
· Robin’s laugh
· How good Brett was at crossword puzzles
· Jeff directing MAD camp “Yesterday, MAD!”
· Never really figuring out that canoe thing & losing my shoes in the reservoir
· Mice in the chuckboxes
· Watching the meteor shower out in the field
· Kelvey’s dj service
· Carrie belting out “You fill up my senses…” in the main lodge bathroom
· Lifesize drawings of Kristin and me taped to the side of the main lodge, complete with our actual underwear. Lovely touch.
· Mik’s African barking spider
· Big Daddy
· The kind notes Karen left in our mailboxes
· Jed going on a bear hunt “Smells like….cherries!”
· Jimmer: “Set traps!”
· Chocolate pudding pies on 4th of July. To this day I still think I smell chocolate pudding in the downstairs of the Main Lodge
