Camp Counselors with Zachariah Porter and Jonathan Carson

This week on Trail Mix, our campers went through it and we are so grateful they survived to tell us about it. A friend who MacGyvered a lost ID back from the dead using gum and a coffee stirrer at midnight, an Airbnb host who had absolutely no concept of personal boundaries, and a mom who took a bachelorette trip completely off the rails in the middle of the woods.

Some of you will agree, and some of you will be on the wrong side of Shady Birch history. Either wa...
