“The rattlesnake’s only natural enemy is the gun.” -Alex Hecker, at a staff meeting. “Oh crap…butt sweat.” -Tony Grinage upon finding wet receipts in his pants pocket. “My current warehouse is in the lower office.” -Adrian Hazell, meaning to instead say, whereabouts. “But Daddy…I need you to find my shark boy and you need to have your keys.” -Ethan Barger, holding up Duncan’s keys, trying to make an exchange. “For the first 20 years of my life, I thought I was allergic to milk. Now I realize that it was cats.” -Richard Chown as said to George on the Rec Hall steps. “C’mon Jessie, shake your booty!” -Oscar Verdia to Jessie Hazell while chasing her in front of the Dining Hall. “There are times in the day when I’m awake and then I’m a hoot!” -Chris Dallas Feeney in fishing class. “I have a stupid person ache.” Rob Bortner in response to George saying, “I have a stomach ache.” “I have an unusually warm butt.” Said nonchalantly by ex-counselor, Eric Shansby during his recent visit to
Camp Sholola.
They are one of the most important staff that we have on camp Shohola. They just don't cook, they dedicate time to our food and they make sure that we eat and get out of the dinning hall, happy with a full stomach. They're favorite food to cook is our favorite to eat, macaroni and cheese. A combination of cheese, team work, and dedication makes it good for everyone.
What a summer! It had been many (many, many and yes, many) years since I attended a summer camp and I had forgotten all the wonderful friendships and experiences that occur during the summer!
There was a lot of information to learn about the Waterfront and I don’t know how I would have survived the summer without the help of the Waterfront Staff. Each one of the Counselors brought something special to the summer. Thank you all.
It was a truly amazing to watch as campers that had never kayaked before learn to do a bow roll or someone who never sailed before participate in the sailing regatta. Not to mention all the wonderful swimmers, canoe classes, and windsurfers – what a feeling to watch you all improve and learn!
Thank you to all the Camp Shohola staff and campers for helping to make this summer one that I will never forget!
