I'm on a missing camp kick right now, since I saw a lot of old camp friends (I'm a CMF girl) at "Still Singing After All These Years" this past weekend, and found this community - I can't tell you how awesome I think this is and only wish I had found it while I was still working there! I guess I'd better get down to business, introducing myself:camp name: Altoid (Rerun as a JC, but I am better known after my name change as the former), and variations include: Altie, LT, The Toid, etc.camper: pre- 2000 - day camp at Winona and Bay Breeze every summer, eventually working as an AIT, then AID2000 - 2 weeks at CMF: Off Broadway at Windy Hill (the current equivalent being Summer Stock, I think)2001 - 1 week at CMF: Art Medley at Spotswood2002 - 2 weeks at CMF: Challengers at Sinewa (they changed the name from Rocks & Ropes to this for only a year, which I always thought was weird)2003 - JC at CMF, known as Rerun (yes, I'm still so embarrassed about the name change)staff: at CMF, of course...2004 - unit counselor2005 - program counselorfavorite girl scout songs:while I was at camp, I was known by campers and counselors alike as being annoyingly all-too-familiar with a vast number of girl scout songs. this past semester, I wrote a 13 page paper on girl scout songs.

Altoid! We're glad you're here! Nice to see CMF people ;0)-FX/Sketch Hey Sketch! It's definitely important that the CMF people represent :DALTOID!!! Miss you Lots!<3 Spike EEE SPIKE! How are ya doing!? I miss you too!!!no matter where we wander, CMF is never far away in our hearts. It is the place where lives are changed...not just the campers' but our own as well. I am so grateful to have known such a place and her people. ♥ Zed From: suncamp2007-06-22 09:39 pm (UTC) Got Fired? (Link) How did you get fired from Camp May Flather?= Sunshine from Potomac Woods Haha, NO WAY would I ever be adventurous enough to do something to get me fired from CMF - I love it way too much! No, I go to college 500 miles away from home, so I figured the least I could do for my parents during the remaining summers I have is to work closer to home. It is only deep affection for my padres that keeps me away! ALTOID!! i lived with Elfie in Sinewa for two weeks this summer. she's ALMOST as crazy as you!
