Josh's Summers at the Rock

 Joshua Pincus was a camper for 8 summers and a CIT before serving on staff for another almost ten summers.  Josh was the Waterfront Director for 5 summers and also served as Trip Director for a summer.  Josh was a piece of the fabric of Birch Rock for almost 2 decades.
-==Early Years==
+==Life Before Birch Rock==
 In the early '80s there was a camper named Pittman Wallace who lived in Connecticut, just North of New York City.  As a camp ambassador Pitt and his family did their best to recruit from the neighborhood.  One such family was the Pincus'.  Josh and his older brother Terence were off to camp.

 Josh had many great experiences during his camper years.  During his early summers he spent a lot of time with the lower camp gang just trying all the activities and exploring camp.  He was an excellent swimmer, field guy and tennis player, but he also loved the boats and the campcraft stuff.  He was another example of those all-around types of campers.  Josh was well loved by the staff because he explored all the activities and therefore spent time with everyone.

-During the summer of '88, Joshua came very close to being the camper to catch the Midnight Phantom in the act.  He woke up and caught the Midnight Phantom with his flashlight he grabbed from the floor.  The flashlight had been on Josh's trunk but now the trunk was gone and Josh in his tired state didn't even notice.  The Midnight Phantom stood with Josh's trunk just outside the cabin and talked Josh back to sleep.  Josh returned his flashlight to the floor and went back to bed.  That night the Midnight Phantom had hit every cabin and yet Josh still had no idea who it was.

 During one of his Upper Camper summers, Josh was the goalie for the BRC soccer team and played an awesome game.  This was one of the last few Birch Rock vs Waganaki soccer games, a tradition that went on for many summers.  Josh practiced the goalie position with Dave Jenkins a bunch leading up to the big game.  Josh had a few epic deflections in that game.

 After a few counselor years under his belt, Josh was ready to take charge of the waterfront, and he continued as the Waterfront Director for many summers.  Josh also likely holds the record for the Waterfront Director responsible for the most long distance swims ever.  Josh trained CITs to be lifeguards and campers to be skilled swimmers.  Birch Rock would have him back on the waterfront anyday.
-In 2001, Josh wanted a change and decided to give the trip leading thing a shot.  It was a one summer thing.  Although, I believe he enjoyed it, he really missed not being in house more often and returned to the waterfront in 2002.
