For 10 weeks in the summer of 2001. I worked at Camp Tesomas.
I think it is best summed up by our Mission Statement:
"We the staff of Tesomas Scout Camp, are deeply dedicated to providing an experiance that will stay with our campers for a lifetime. Our programs are proven to provide enthusiastic leadership, set good examples and strengthen unit cooperation. In addition, we will contribute to rank advancement and the invaluable merit badges, two vital aspects in the life of every scout. Through these ideals, we open the door to the building of self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment. Most important of all, the Tesomas Staff aims to share the "Tesomas Experience" for all who venture into our woodland haven. We will strive at any cost to make camping fun for those who share our home and hearts with, here, Where Camping is King!"
The gate leading into the area I directed, Eagle Quest. Once inside..
Scouts could learn to build a campfire...
...then cook a hot meal over it..
2nd class scouts moved rocks for a service project...
...And I turned them into a Zen Garden
We found wild animals
And under the training of Master Sensei Smi-Lee, we learned the Ma Tes So Martial Arts (Ma Tes So is Tesomas mixed up)
Of course sometimes we just hung out
