Swiss Knife Info

For two summers during high school, I volunteered as a Program Aid at a Girl Scout day camp. Each session the camp would have a big overnight stay. The girls loved roasting s’mores over the open fire, telling ghost stories, and having pillow fights instead of settling down in their sleeping bags.

I’m not sure what it is about little girls and camping, but sleeping through the night is not an option. I spent most of the night removing spiders from the cabin, shushing giggling girls, and escorting them to and from the latrines. Fortunately, I had my trusty Swiss Army flash light to illuminate the dark paths. I was grateful that the overnights tended to be on Thursdays, so I only had to stay awake through one day and then I could crash comfortably in my own bed for the rest of the weekend.
