My Camp Counselor Days
The days as a counselor with the Y.M.C.A.
We had a Y.M.C.A. blouse and blue shorts with hush puppies.
My father Dr. Wolf had said that they are interviewing for the position of counselor,
I went to the interview and I was hired.
I had a group of young children to look after,
We went on hikes and sang songs.
Became a senior counselor after a while,
We had a camp out and cookout once a month.
The tent we had to put up ourselves,
Made our own campfire with sticks and matches.
We cooked food and marsh mellows.
We hiked along the Rouge Hills,
That is very scenic there.
I enjoyed those years,
The days in the fresh air were very healing.
We have such good memories when we were young,
I thank my parents for their excellent guidance.
