Besides family, what will you miss most during your camp? A normal bathroom, air conditioning and my bed.

Phobias: I’m not a creepy crawly guy and I hate anyone or anything touching my neck.

Role in the camp: I’m a ‘yes’ guy, so cooking and cleaning I’ll do whatever they want me to do.

Besides family, what will you miss most during your camp?: I know this sounds boring, but gaming.

Best and Worst Features: I like to think that I’m the court jester and that I don’t take things too seriously, so if someone is having a bad day, I like to put a smile on their face. Worst? I am quite forgetful and have difficulty concentrating on things.

Dream camper: Stephen Fry. I think I would combust myself if he went into the jungle!

Besides family, what will you miss most during your camp?: My fantasy football app! I’m obsessed with it! Four weeks without music is also a long time.
