lately I have been horribly preoccupied by the fact that the camp I worked at this summer might not be there much longer. The Chicago Area Council is trying to sell the camp and this really upsets me. luckily the township is against it and the current zoning won't allow them to sell it to the residential developers. They are going to court over it and it has been postponed til august now.
I have been writing a paper on it and it worries me a little. however the reason it was postponed is because the CAC skipped a step in requesting rezoning so things seem on the townships side so far.
I really hop Owasippe pulls through though. At least I should be working tere next summer again, this time hopefully in Aquatics.
Anyway if you want to read about it here is a link to the staff associations site.

Well ths camp had just had its 95th anniversary, it is the oldest scout run camp in the United States. That is the other reason I would hate them to sell it. I already have a lifetimes worth of memories there, but this could upset people in their 90s, It was through the great depression! So much history there. Ask any one who works there, and you will know there used to be many more sub camps, whether they merged or were sold, we still sing their camp songs when putting out the oping and ending fires each week.
