Ben first came to L.G. Cook 4-H Camp as a camper, in the summer of 1995, and he hasn’t missed a summer since. He’s been a camper, CIT, volunteer, counselor, Senior Staff Member, Summer Camp Director, Program Director, and now Camp Director. They say when looking for a career, think of what your favorite thing was when you were 12, and try to do that. When Ben was 12, his favorite thing was Summer Camp, so it worked out okay. |
