Camp Morrison, McCall Idaho: 1994 and 1995

I worked for 3 summers in McCall on the aquatic staff of Camp Morrison. While in McCall I:
  • mounted a potato gun to our sail boat, 
  • broke helmets while wearing them,
  • worked as a life-guard.  Taught: Canoeing, Row-Boating, Small Boat Sailing, Swimming, Life-Saving, snorkeling
  • played a lot of hackey-sack, 700
  • rode my bike 2 or 3 miles to every meal, 
  • used an outhouse and took a shower in the outdoors, 
  • chased deer, 
  • listened to a lot of Nirvana, Primus, 
  • had my first room-mates,
  • recorded my first sleep-talker
  • and constantly feared running into bears when ridding back to my tent at night on dirt roads
Below are some photos.

There was a hill on the beach with a log and a table to sit and draw, and
write. It was a great place to think about stuff..
