"The Crazy had come crashing down on me during the previous school year. And I brought it with me to kamp. I didn't just pack it along and take it with me - I waved that sucker around for all to see. It was fairly typical 15-year-old angst but it didn't belong in the forest of my childhood, and that was likely a big part of the reason I didn't get hired on as a counselor in training the following summer.
While I understand them not bringing you back, in a grudging sort of way, I'm very angry that you were penailized for it.
Well, they were looking for the best applicants for a position working with kids. I have no actual evidence that my behaviour that final summer resulted in my not being hired, but it would be silly to think it didn't play a role.
They were looking for the cream of the crop, not someone who might not be stable or might not make it through the summer. The sad thing was that kamp was what brought me stability.

Lucky for me, I learned other ways to find it.
