Second in line is on a roll. Rolled up sleeves, rolled up shorts, and rolled down socks. I'm betting that's a copy of the Boy Scout manual in his pocket.

Was this a camp for slow kids?

The kid fourth in line only has one shoe on!

Does anyone know where this camp is located? The one that I worked at is in East Eddington Maine. I worked there for 5 great summers, and came away with many great memories.
