Did you go to summer camp as a kid?

I never *went* to camp but i did work one summer as a counselor at a summer camp in the Pocono mountains outside of New York City when i was 19…. It was an eye opening experience for many reasons .. 95% of the kids were Jewish, and i had very little experience with Judaism or it’s traditions and rituals, so that was kinda cool.. it was also eye opening because these kids were all from wealthy families.. not merely “rich”, I’m talking about wealthy .. i would try to be a nice guy when a kid in my bunk lost a tooth and put a couple dollars under their pillow a la the tooth fairy, but then they’d be disappointed because at home they’d get $20 or $40.. which was a lot to me in 1993 dollars.. one of the kids in my bunk had parents who owned Pathmark, which was the east coast equivalent of Winn Dixie or A&P…. Another kid had grandparents who owned a toy company called Fisher Price.. that’s a true story …. Yet another kid had been on the Cosby Show, which was a huge deal and had only recently gone off the air… I don’t like to call anyone spoiled , but that label definitely applied to most of the kids at this camp.. at the time, i believe it cost $10k per kid to go this 8 week sleepaway camp, and some families had three or four kids at the camp.. on the one day all summer where parents could visit , i got to see an assortment of Rolls Royces and Maseratis and anything else you could imagine.. definitely an experience i wont forget, here i am recounting it over 30 yrs later .
