  Best job ever. I was first a crew leader, then spent five years as camp director for Youth Conservation Corps (YCC). We built fences, did stream rehab, tree trimming and learned about the forest environment. After the kids left to go back to school, we performed fire supression and other fire and recreation-related duties.
