Leaving Waukesha for Week of Summer Camp

Patch editor taking a summer vacation - for a week - and Amy Gilgenbach will be in charge.

Do you have one place in life that no matter what, it is home?

Camp AWANA, located between West Bend and Port Washington, has been a part of my life ever since I can remember. Even before I could attend as a camper, I would go there with my family to watch my older sisters go to camp.

I would watch with insane jealousy.

It’s been a few years since I’ve felt that insane jealousy. I’ve been there every summer since I was 11, and I wouldn’t miss it for the world.

That’s why I am taking off Friday afternoon and turning Waukesha Patch over for the week to freelancer Amy Gilgenbach as I take on role of camp counselor and a staff supervisor. I leave knowing the site is in great hands. E-mail Amy if you have story ideas or questions this week. I will be back in the game June 18.
