St. Joseph native Thomas Adler has wonderful memories from his years at camp. His many, many years as camp.
Mr. Adler went from a reluctant 9-year-old camper to a camp owner and director and spent roughly 45 years of his life at camp. He detailed his experiences in a recently released book “Campingly Yours.” Mr. Adler will hold a book signing from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday at Borders, 5201 N. Belt Highway.
“Just a couple years ago, I was kind of looking around, kind of visualizing all the kids and the counselors and the camps,” he said, “and it just kind of occurred to me that I had a lot of stories, what led me to this life.”
Mr. Adler said a former camp director told him he would make a good camp director. That, he said, is how “… a kid in his 20s with no money ends up running his own camp.
