Dear Shayna B.,

I always loved animals and recently I found a summer program that lets me spend time observing and interacting with them. It seems like a really special opportunity. My problem is that it’s something different that I’ve never done before and I don’t know anyone who has. It’s kind of scary taking this leap and I’m wondering if I should just go to sleepaway camp like everyone else. Shayna B., what should I do?

Sincerely,

Chani Animal Tamer

Dear CAT,

Take the leap. Unless of course you’re too chicken. Wasn’t that a hoot? It’s good to expand your circle of experiences. If you go to Camp Animals you won’t look back and regret not having tried something new. It’ll be fun for you and make you happy. Let me leave you with a tip: When you’re away at Camp Animals, just remember, if you see a bear, before you run away, make sure to snap a photo!

Best of luck,

Shayna B.
