Joel keeps coming back. Now a PhD candidate, Joel's idea of vacation is to come work at the KOA?? We cherish every opportunity we have to share him with his patients. He usually spends Thanksgiving and Christmas with us and Spring Break. He will be back with us for a limited time during the 2008 season.

In 2001, Joel stopped by on the outside chance we needed help that summer and we wouldn't let him leave. Joel does a little bit of everything but his specialty is ice cream social and hayrides. Joel graduated in May 2005 from Pacific University with a BA in psychology. He is now in graduate school pursuing a PsyD. in clinical psychology.
