At the end of every summer one counselor or camper is designated to create the bunk plaque. The bunk decides on a theme and the artist makes a plaque that encompasses the theme. My first year as a camper, freshman summer, our plaque had a big yellow smiley face on it. This represented happiness and a fun-filled summer. It is important for first year campers to have the best experience. So our plaque portrayed the outstanding first summer we truly had.

I decided to interview her to find out her perspective of what it was like being a counselor at Camp Pontiac, but not growing up at Camp Pontiac. Would these girls behave? Would they be polite or would they be demanding? We recalled when the girls first arrived. I introduced Annie and all of the other counselors to the girls. The counselors were all so warm and welcoming.

So this was like a dream to us. We could not stop laughing. Tears pour from our eyes. I changed the subject a bit and asked Erika what the hardest part of her transition from camper to counselor.

How amazing it was so of course I decided that I just HAD to go. June 25, 2004 rolled around and it was the day before camp started. Sat up in my bed crying; I now had regrets of leaving.
