Data Adventures

(2025-Aug-04)  Taking my last week of vacation and then volunteering at a children's summer camp has been part of my plan since last year, when I did the same thing. Back then, I wrote a short blog post ( https://datanrg.blogspot.com/2024/09/what-i-learned-volunteering-at.html ) without any intention of writing one again this year. However, while helping out in the kitchen, I had a new experience that I thought was worth writing down to remember. Usually, when you sign up to volunteer as kitchen help at a summer camp, you have some idea of who else will be working with you. But in my case, I wasn’t really concerned about the other kitchen team members. I only specifically asked to be placed during the teen campers' week, assuming that older teens would be hungrier and that more help would be needed in the kitchen.
