Camp - Michael D. Eisner

Over the years, as a camper and a counsellor, Michael Eisner absorbed the life lessons that come from sitting in the stern of a canoe or gathering around a campfire at night. In this deeply personal memoir, he recounts his experiences at one remarkable summer camp and examines how they helped turn him into the man he is today. Camp is Eisner''s ode to Keewaydin - a Vermont camp that four generations of the Eisner family have attended for 100 years - as well as a guide to growing up, building relationships, and developing the tools of leadership. Through heartwarming anecdotes from his time spent at Keewaydin and stories from his life in the upper echelons of American business that illustrate the camp''s continued influence, Eisner creates a touching and insightful portrait of his own youth, as well as a resounding declaration of summer camp as an invaluable national institution. With new material from the author on the continued impact Keewaydin has had on his life in the twenty years since the memoir''s first publication, Camp remains an important personal chronicle of the success mindset and of the character-building that a child can find in a remote corner of the Vermont woods and carry into adulthood.
