Don Munn was a local dairy farmer and owner of [[Springer's Store]] in the early '80s with his love [[Janice Walker]].  It was sometime in the early eighties that Don started doing maintenance around camp.  During the lean years in the late '80s through mid-'90s, it was Donald who did his best to save money where he could and keep the place in good enough shape to function safely.  Thanks to his local connections, money saving practices, and willingness to loan the camp his tools and sometimes even his land for storage, Don was certainly one of the main reasons Birch Rock was able to stay open.  Birch Rock will be forever grateful.

Once Don was estalished he became an icon of Birch Rock, so iconic that the staff have even had t-shirts made with Don's picture on them.  One such T-shirt was a white shirt with a picture of Don on the front and 'Attitude is Everything' written underneath.  Many look forward to seeing Don and Janice when they return to camp to quicken that feeling of being back on campus.  From May through Opening Day every summer for the last almost 30 years, Donald has been all out getting the campus ready for Opening Day.  As the staff arrives in June, Don's there passing out brushes, weedwackers and gloves and sending them to work.
