They taught me how to pitch a tent, build a fire, and read a trail map. That camp and its staff strengthened my love for nature. All total, I have spent well more than a year of my life at that camp. This trend continued through college until I went to seminary and my summers became occupied with other responsibilities. When I turned 16 and was eligible to be a counselor, the time I spent at camp quickly escalated to almost three months annually. Starting at age ten, I spent two weeks there each summer as a camper. One of the most formative influences in my life is the summer camp I attended for many years in western North Carolina.
