A: I don't know what I've missed most, but whenever I have a bad day, I think about how much I would rather be at camp.

 

Q: What do you think is the most important trait of a great camp counselor?

A: Whole-hearted passion for camp and everything it stands for, and a realization of how much this place means to so many people.

A: FrEaKoUt!

 

Q:What's your ideal weather?

A: Sunny and 87 degrees  

Q: If you were in a canoe in the middle of the lake and you got to have one person to keep you company, one object in your possession, one kind of hat on your head and one song playing the whole time, what would they all be? 

A: I would want to float around with Lindley G. Cook, possess a large bowl of Freakout, wear Ben's antique orange(ish) hat, and listen to "Closer to Fine" by the Indigo Girls.
