      camp usage

      And there lies the rub.  Staffing cannot meet the needs of most youth that work for college money or other things.  Years ago, the low wages were okay, as the cost of living was far less, and there were more attendees due to fewer other summer opportunities for youth.  Before youth sports and traveling teams, and media that encouraged things few would have thought of fifty years ago, the camp staff experience was still rewarding.  Few youth had cars, so that expense was not an issue, and simply the slower pace of life took pressure much of the time.off '

      Here is the crazy thing about camp staff, some will do it for the pittance because it is fun. Hard work? Absofreakinglutely. Fun, great camraderie, making a difference, Yes in deed. How do I know, I VOLUNTEERED to work a week of summer camp since I could not go with my troop. 3 squares, a cot, tshirts, and staff necker and hat. And those items means more to me than money for some weird reason. But I know some staff cannot do that. Heck it was the reason why I didn't work staff when I was in HS: I made more in 1 day working than staff did in an entire week.
