Bunk 12 trapdoor

[Alan Rhodes]

It was the summer of 1971. I was a camper in Bunk 12 and my counselor was Gordon Campbell, from England. I believe he was awarded the Counselor of the year in '71. Anyway, I had overheard the Waiters talking about trapdoors and I decided to build one for myself. I built it in the floor, right next to my bed, and camouflaged it with a blanket. I would sneak out after lights out and hang out with the older kids. This lasted for a couple of weeks until Bruce Cohen did the morning inspection and accidentally fell through the trapdoor. I thought that I would be kicked out of Camp for that, but Bruce just chuckled about it. Bruce, if you read this, thanks for letting it slide!
