Camp visits – Maine visit with OMC, How Bizarre on the radio
As it is now halfway through the summer, it is time for me to get onto arranging my camp visits. As a part of my job with IEP/BUNAC who place international staff into camps, I visit several camps to check in on the staff we placed there, and make sure everything is going well, from both the staff and the directors perspectives. I love doing this, and although it eats into my days off, I find it a valuable experience. I have a few favourites this summer, including YMCA Camp Coniston, Camp Cody, and Camp Marist. I’m also off to Maine to visit Camp Pinecliffe, a camp I have wanted to visit for a while now. I finally make it off the island and am driving through the wonderful countryside heading North to Maine, and as I cross the boarder into Maine, I can’t help but notice the song playing on the radio is a favourite of mine - How Bizarre by OMC (Otara Millionaires Club) – An Auckland, NZ group who made it big with this song in the mid-90’s. It never ceases to amaze me how much of an impact New Zealand has on the rest of the world, and this song is no exception, and a great example of how far we can make it…
