Broad Channel Day Camp

Homecoming

I returned to the grand reopening of Broad Channel Day Camp in Queens, New York as a 31-year old man. My wife also signed up. (I went to Broad Channel from 1984-1990 as a kid).

The camp was completely redone, and everyone was grown up. There was a new petting zoo, and many unusual animals were there, such as the Luck Dragon from The Never Ending Story.

The counselors were running the ship now, as the Old Guard has died, I guess. Neil, who was running a Help Desk, had no idea what "class" I had to go to or what my schedule was. I was very nervous and afraid to be late.

Everything was NOT organized. Many campers were frustrated, although my wife was fine, and took pictures of the fantastic creatures.

Neil started to SHOUT and YELL at the campers (now in their 30's). I was aghast how poor the customer service was, and wanted my money back.
