I have enjoyed periods plenty and I have been hardened by periods of scarcity.
I went to summer camp on a scholarship.
At summer camp, they feed me food.
There were lots of trees and fun kids.
There is no scarcity at summer camp.
Today, I send kids to camp and help feed kids along with their guardians.

Surprise Lake Camp
Advisor to youths on career choices in IT and Life Science.
Surprise Lake Camp has a rich history and is the oldest Jewish sleep-away camp in the country. It was founded in 1902 by the Educational Alliance to provide a summer vacation for Jewish boys from the tenements of Manhattan's Lower East Side. In its first season, it had six tents for 25 campers and five counselors. One of the first campers was Eddie Cantor, who, upon achieving success as an entertainer, became one of the camp's most ardent supporters. Since then Surprise Lake Camp has served thousands of young people, many of whom have achieved prominence, among them, entertainer Neil Diamond, talk show host Larry King, and actor/comedian Jerry Stiller.
* Left the house in the morning and rode my bike to get a haircut for camp. Got hit by a car on the ride home...didn’t make it camp that summer.
