Cool. I only ever went to Schoellkopf, first as a camper, then CIT, then 1 year as paid staff. I helped out a lot at the Trading Post in my off hours as a CIT, and was hoping to work there or COPE full time as a staff member, but ended up teaching Basketry and Metalworking at the Craft lodge instead. I still would have gone back for a third year if I could have afforded to do so, but I made a lot more money in far fewer hours working at Timmy Ho's. Alas. Pretty awesome you worked one for so long.

The generation of staff members that I worked with at Dittmer stuck around for quite a while as part of a core of senior staff members. One just completed his fifteenth year. Part of that is due to the fact that our council pays more than any of the surrounding camps, or at least they did when I was there.
