Where was AJ all summer?

AJ

AJ has been missing from many of our summer activities this year. But he had a good reason, he had a great summer job, especially for someone who wants to be a middle school teacher. AJ was a camp counselor at Camp Barton, a boy scout camp in Ithaca, NY.

AJ lived at camp and worked as a life guard and swimming and canoeing merit badge counselor. It was a great solution to the summer job dilemma since it provided him with a place to live and he didn't need a car. Plus, a summer on Cayuga Lake does not suck.

He made some great friends, had a fun summer on the lake and we still got to see him during the weeks we were in Ithaca. He had one night and one day off per week. The weeks we weren't there, his cousin or uncle claimed him from camp so he could spend time relaxing at Grandma's house. That of course was awesome for him!!
