For those who were there in the late '80s through the early '90s, Birch Rock was a different experience. There were very few campers on campus and even fewer staff. The counselors were each teaching four different activities everyday, just to keep things open. And try teaching baseball to one or two campers everyday. During those summers, the program and activities suffered. There were fewer badges being awarded and there was less focus on the activities, the equipment was old or donated hand-me-downs, and even the s'mores suffered as the camp decided it couldn't afford the chocolate. The s'mores in 1990 were graham crackers and marshmallows. The staff was paid so little that after the bills came in for laundry and phone calls home, many counselors were actually writing checks to camp instead of the other way around. But that's just it! It wasn't about the equipment or money for the staff or those die hard campers who were there then. It was about being at Birch Rock!
