International Campers

Post by DanM »

I read a review of ASA, and it said as much as 75% of campers are from outside the US, as far as Japan. Is this true? I think the review I was reading is outdated, as it mentioned going to Marshall. I would think most of the international crowd would be channeled into the international camps. The only international trainees I've had on my team was at SC in '06, there was a kid from Russia, but he might have been a dual or US citizen. He kept moving between Moscow and New York, but I do remember his mom played Svetlana from the Sopranos.

They must be quoting statistics from International week.

I am from Canada and of the three camps I've been to I was one of two or three internationals there at the time. The first time there were two lads from the UK on another team; second time there were two lads from Australia on my team; third time I brought a friend and we were the only two internationals.

With those numbers, it's nowhere near 75%; only 8-25%.
