Ben and Eric talk with Eric Glickman, the author of “Camp Pock-a-Wocknee and the Dynomite Summer of '77”. This is a phenomenal (adult) graphic novel that encapsulates so many of the themes we’ve explored on the Summer Camp Chronicles: heroic counselors, embarrassing moments, camp romance, toilet mishaps and all manner of hijinks.

We’ve all seen the movies: Heavyweights, Meatballs, Wet Hot American Summer. They make camp seem like it’s all about sex, drugs and rock & roll -- with an alarming lack of adult supervision. But that’s just fiction. Or is it? On this episode, three guests share their stories about stuff that happened at camp “back in the day”, all of which make Ben & Eric very uncomfortable.

Camp can feel like an alternate reality - one that's totally removed from the real world. But the truth is that camp life is real life and, as we all know, s#@% often happens when we least expect it. On this episode, we hear about some bathroom-related incidents at camp, and take a deep dive into Ben's bowel habits.

Being a camp counselor is the hardest job in the world. Camp staff members are truly heroes and we have nothing but love and respect for everyone who dedicates a summer to making a positive difference in the lives of young people. That said, sometimes mistakes are made. On this episode, we hear about a few not-so-great camp staff decisions.

Almost 35 years ago, Alyson did something to her camp counselor - and she's felt guilty about it ever since. Can Ben and Eric help Alyson find some peace of mind after all these years?

Ben and Eric know first-hand that camp is the best place to meet your one true love. But what happens when camp romance goes wrong? This episode features stories about love triangles, cheating girlfriends and the threat of castration.

In this episode, our contributors tell us about a time when they made their camp director most angry. Join us for one story of epic pranks and another about counselors ALMOST getting away with being somewhere they weren't supposed to be.

This episode features cringe-worthy embarrassing stories from two listeners, while Ben and Eric admit to some humiliating moments in their camp careers, too.

We asked listeners to submit their stories about the most heroic things they've done or seen at camp. The two tales we've chosen for this episode are totally different from one another, but are equally awesome!
