When are you getting a real job?

Parents, have you ever said that to your child?

Teens, have you ever been confronted with that question?

I’m sure the answer to both questions is a resounding,“yes!” I know, because I’ve had people ask me when I was going to leave camp and get a “real job.” Being at camp sure beats working for a living! In addition, I’m having fun, even enjoying what I’m doing.

And who am I? Well, my name is Shawn Fetterhoff, and I’m the Executive Director of this camp. I came here in 2007 after teaching for ten years. There were those who wondered why I would give up my “real job” to work at camp full time. As for my “real job,” let me share some insights from being involved in Christian camping since I was eight years old.

Many folks have trouble understanding how working at a camp could be considered a “real job.” And working at a summer camp, well, that’s a waste of time and talent. After all, how can all that “fun ‘n’ games” ever be considered a “real job?” The irony is that Christian parents will spend $8,000-$20,000 (or more) a year to provide a “good” education for their child and then say, “you can’t work at camp...you’ve got to get a real job! But let’s be honest...that’s not the real issue. Making money is the issue!
