OVERNIGHT CAMP

One year when I was working at an overnight camp we went to see a lumberjack competition on one of our days off. It was one of the most fun, unique and entertaining experiences of my entire life. We were so out of place there, and people gave us some funny looks. I guess all those cheese fed Wisconsin natives have never seen so many Jews before. It was really impressive to watch all of the competitions. They used all sorts of different cutting tools as they raced through cutting through gigantic logs. It was amazing to see how fast they could saw through those logs. It was also funny to be to see that every single one of the lumberjacks basically looked like Paul Bunyan. I kept telling my friends I wanted to go look for Babe the Blue Ox. That was really only one of the fun days off we took. Another time we went to a Brewers game at Miller Park in Milwaukee. We tailgated with the rest of the Brewers fans and enjoyed a few beers. The game was fun, and the Brewers even won. Those kids of days of with good friends are the great memories that make me miss going to camp.
