Camp Counselors

The camp counselor holds a mythic place in American culture.  Such a huge number of people attend camp as a child and these uber-cool counselors are always there – teaching canoeing, or telling ghosts stories, or simply letting a child relax away from their real world.  With such a broad reach the camp counselor becomes a commonly shared childhood memory, as much as Mickey Mouse or Barbie.  So these heroes must have their own hero’s journey, right?  You bet they do.  What follows here are the submissions from readers of their camp counselor hero’s journeys.
