“As far as summer jobs go, I learned it’s hard to beat a few months at camp. I got to play with chainsaws and power tools, drive BBC’s tractor and gator (think of a golf-cart on steroids), and mosey into the pavilion three times a day for a delicious home cooked meal. Best of all, many of my contributions, like the cupboards and cooperation course obstacles and water slide and privy, will continue to be used and enjoyed long after my summer. But the time I spent with the campers trumped all my daytime accomplishments. I’ll never forget teaching a camper to play the harmonica and then performing with him on cinema night, or pulling a trailer load of kids down to the brook crossing to repair the fords.”
