[pct-l] YCC Camp

[CHUCK CHELIN]

Good morning, Robert,



What a wonderful adventure that will be for a young person.  At the ages of
14 and 15 I worked on the staff of a Boy Scout summer camp.  The setting was
not nearly as glamorous as Yellowstone but I was amazed that they would
actually pay me to spend the summer at camp.  The pay was inconsequential:
$12 per week for the 6 weeks the camp operated, plus 3 additional weeks of
unpaid volunteer setup and close-down time.  I could have made much more
money at home but the thought never entered my mind.
