Ah didn't get an email saying you'd replied!
I do know, it's in Vermont. If you type Camp Farnsworth (realised it had an '"s" in it today lol) into google maps you can see.

I keep looking up whats on the net about it and its got great reviews so I'm hoping it's def Farnsworth now. There were only 58 staff there last year so should know each other pretty well by the end of it!

There you go - see if that works!
I got placed at the fair, thought I'd be coming home with nothing after so many turned out not to be looking for GCs but had a lucky ending. I was talking 2 a girl behind me in the queue who was lookin 2 do watersports but obv I then went to processing and I wana know if shes coming too!
There was a list with about a dozen names so we need to hunt them out on here!

I know I kept asking the lovely lady i spoke 2 to let me know if GCs filled up so I wasnt still standing there, I read on the forum how another girl waited for ages only to find the position had been filled and I know how she felt cos that happened to me at the first fair!!
I got in the actual fair at 11.10 and went around for ages checking who wanted what. Actually I tell a lie, i got placed about 2ish...maybe. Cos I know i was in the q at 12.40. This is becoming pointless rambling now!

But yeh i was in the q for our camp for an hour. Ha - sounds weird. "our camp" x

A lot of ppl had dodge experiences with various camp reps which is a shame, ours were great. I spoke to the one with straighter hair - she was a lot of fun. I don't know how many GCs they were hiring but on the paper there were a dozen or so names, but that could be a 2nd page, or just gcs or everyone they hired that day. Doesnt it say on ur profile what you've been hired as?? There were only about 8 ppl in front of me but obv everyone deserves a decent interview time so it took ages - worth it in the end.
