Author Information

Andrew Waterhouse is a Camp America volunteer who's been nostalgic about it ever since. He regularly annoys his girlfriend by telling her about how situations today are relatable to the times he volunteered at summer camp. He has turned his passion for talking about camp into a podcast, telling his stories and tips, as well as interviewing people who also hold a special place in their hearts for summer camp. Andrew, at the time a Computer Science graduate, bucks the stereotype of a non-religious geek by volunteering abroad as an Outdoor Living Specialist at a Jewish summer camp. Since his time at camp, Andrew has returned to the world of work but often reminisces about travelling. Andrew can be reached on Twitter @androow09 or via the author's website, andrewwaterhouse.com
