RememberSchiff Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Anyone hear from @ItsBrian our resident camp counselor somewhere in the red during this recent tropical heat wave? I wonder how his AC is working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsBrian Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) Last week was extremely brutal for staff. It was very hot and it was easily to get dehydrated. I believe the heat index was over 110 at one point. Staff still sleeps in the green canvas tents, but at least we have a electricity. I was glad I decided to bring a fan this year. We had some nasty storms throughout the week which also made a impact on us. Outpost was harder than usual due to storms, but we still made do. This week is beautiful and perfect temperature, so I guess it’s a plus for this week. Only places in camp with AC is trading post, camp office, and health lodge. It doesn’t even really get cold, just a lower temp. Edited July 25, 2019 by ItsBrian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HashTagScouts Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Hang in there. My son is working in SE MA and dealing with. He's assigned to a cabin with no electricity, so he and most of his mates are sleeping in their hammocks under the stars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsBrian Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Update: Today was the last day of the season. Tear down was done in the perfect weather, it felt like it was fall. It was hot during the season, but it finally cooled off at the end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAKWIB Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Glad you survived @ItsBrian! Despite the conditions, you made Scouting happen for a bunch of kids. I hope you return to be a staff man or a unit leader at your camp next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in the FYS program and this was my 2nd year. I’m not sure if I will go back next year since I will be out of high school, but I will eventually if I don’t.
