When I got to the top of the 50-foot tower, Padraic, the young man in charge of the COPE (Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience) program at Camp Schoellkopf asked me if I was afraid of heights. I told him I wasn't. I was just afraid of falling. He assured me l wouldn't.
For my very first stay at a camp of any kind, summer camp, day camp, scout camp - I was invited to spend a day (and night) at Camp Schoellkopf in Wyoming County. I was assured we could work out some reasonable lodging rates for the night so I was in.
Clay, Dale and Liz headed to Camp Schoellkopf to hang out with Boy Scouts of America on the final day of camp in the 2016 season. From songs in the food line to a camp singalong to a random bugle performance, it was a musical morning.
Dale has never been to summer camp. Ever. Clay, Dale and Liz headed to hang out with local Boy Scouts on the last day of camp for the group, and Dale took the chance to learn the art of knot tying.
If you listen to Clay, Dale and Liz, you probably know or at least strongly suspect that Dale LOVES food. But how much does he really love it? A lot. A lot, a lot.
