This made me laugh...'(I) successfully managed to hold on to my virginity throughout this long summer.'

Huh I was on Camp America the summer of '86, although east coast rather than California.

I was more successful at getting fired for losing my rag with a snotty tween than you (um yay?), but that meant I ended up at a different camp where I got to take a bunch of teens on a bike tour through the Amish part of Pennsylvania which was pretty cool.

No dramatic forest fires for me however.

Also a load of kids I was in charge of fell down a cliff/very steep hill. No deaths. Broken bones! Amazing I hit through the whole summer!

Look at that young kid, with his face from the 80s. We’re very glad he made it through, virginity intact.
