Growing up in a resort setting gives a person a special portal view on life. Most individuals and families will be on vacation for a limited amount of time each summer. But what if you were to grow up in a vacation resort where each week, every summer your life was increasingly different than the summer before? Where every summer you had the chance to meet new individuals, oftentimes each week. What if you had the chance to work with college students from across the USA and other countries? How would those experiences shape your life as an adolescent and then a young adult? This book takes you on a journey through the eyes of a child who had the privilege of growing up in a vacation world high in the Colorado Rockies in a resort setting. From pumping gas to serving watermelon for two thousand or more, to seeing the joy of families vacationing and working with summer college staff that created lifetime friendships, the author places into words what it was like to live in a rocky mountain paradise. This is your chance to read about a kid who grew up in a one-of-a-kind Christian camp/resort setting and the individuals he met and how many people from all walks of life, along with a resort, can shape and influence a life.

Autorenporträt
Robert N. Ruesch grew up at Estes Park Center, YMCA of the Rockies. Every summer, he interacted with families, college staff, and conference guests from the United States and around the world. Growing up, Robert had the special opportunity to play, learn, and work with individuals from different backgrounds. Unlike most children growing up, his friendships were as varied as an artist's palette of colors. This gave him a unique perspective on the value of meaningful relationships. Because he was the manager's son, he was known as Walt's boy. This title came with many challenges and opportunities. He observed and developed a life perspective living in a seasonal camp that became a world-class resort.
