Pop the Question

We decided to pop our question to the volunteers who handle the front office at CAMP Rehoboth, our wonderful CAMPcierges.

Why do you enjoy being a CAMPcierge? And, what’s the most interesting question you have had? I consider myself a “people person,” so what I enjoy the most about being a CAMPcierge is interacting with the people! Because of restrictions due to COVID, I really miss interacting in person with visitors. My favorite questions are along the lines of “Do you have arts and crafts at your camp?”

I’m always happy to take people new to the community on a tour or look up information that they need. Probably the funniest question I’ve been asked over the telephone is, “do you have extra-large condoms?” To which I responded in my sexiest voice, “Yes, we do.”

I often receive calls from individuals who want to know about CAMP Rehoboth volunteer opportunities. It’s gratifying to know that so many are willing to help, particularly during these trying times. . . .♦ . . .

Letters 22 JULY 31, 2020

When I was teaching drama at a secondary school in Pennsylvania, I started our first Gay/Straight Alliance. Being a CAMPceirge keeps me involved in the fight for LGBTQ rights. My favorite call: “hi, the restaurant down the street said I could use your toilet, do you have a baby changing station, or could I use your front porch?”

Once, a young man called from a church group, to rent cabins at our camp. It took me a few minutes to explain that we were not a camp, nor did we rent cabins. After I explained our mission I had to explain what LGBTQ stood for. He promptly hung up. We all laughed, me with a trickle of sadness.
