You should have built an outhouse first.

Of course, and we did. The camp was actually well organized as much as I question the authority of the staff there. There were around fifty inmates which were divided into groups. Each group was required to build there own site, and the “privy” was the first thing to be built. It was a ten foot hole in the ground we dug with hand tools. No tractors or anything like that. Shovels, tamping bars, and pick axes. Once the hole was dug we built the structure over it “the shitter,” if you will. We would pour lime into the pit weekly to assist decomposition. The privy had absolutely no scent at all…no kidding…Bessy’s bathroom probably smells worse than our shit-shack.

I connected it to an anxious desire to build something personal, to leave something behind.

Well honestly I’d rather not have had to go to wilderness camp (was having fun as a juvinile delinquent out in the real world) so that kitchen you see is in no way something I chose to build. And the cabin is the same. At the time we built it, I didn’t like the old man at all and would have rather not helped him.

But I will leave something behind for the world when I go, Satyr. Something big…you’ll know it when you see it.

The words “my god…detrop did it…HE FUCKIN DID IT, I can’t believe this!”, will come out of your mouth as you watch a mushroom cloud rise on your southern horizon (you are in Canada…look toward the US to see it).

OMG…this is the camp I was in almost seventeen years ago:

Anyway, I was in the third group within the first year of the camp’s existence. By now its generated a lot of money and scaled itself up quite a bit I’m sure.

All I know is that the page makes it look like a summer camp. Ha…little do the parents and kids know what awaits them. I’ve seen group leaders/staff get fired for “uneccesary violence” (going overboard when restraining a kid).

In addition to our full-time staff we have a multidisciplinary team of consulting professionals - social workers, nurses, teachers, mental health and substance abuse counselors and a psychiatrist/psychologist - who will combine their efforts to create a comprehensive treatment plan for your child.

See this is bullshit though. The group leaders were college students or finished bachelor degrees.

How far does one stretch the definition of “professional”?

Are we talking Hannibal Lector and Sigmund Freud “professional” or are we just getting by with the bare minimal definition: “one who gets paid to do a service.”
