Ever since I almost took the job up at Mystic Lake I have been investigating camps and emailing them about what they have done to devlop their experiential education programs. I have always wanted to work at a camp and I hava also wanted to work in edication, but not at a traditional school or anything like that. I am trying to live bolder and look out of the box (this sounds really dorky, but I'm not in the mood, nor do I think this post warrants the certain poetic nature that I sometimes slip into) Anwyays, I'm trying to be bold and brave, but when I want to get into the outdoors and out of my sterotype of myself, and so what is the first thing that I think of? I need a book about this. How prosaic can I get? Emailing people at different camps has allowed me to really increase my knowledge and I have been able to talk to some really great people. I've had many, many offers to correspond via email and get advice, encouragement that it is wise of me to try to learn all that I can, many offers for me to come and visit and shadow them while they work, and about 3 offers to apply for jobs. Its funny that they have offered this when I have been very clear that I have no experience, and am still entangled at school.
