At Camp Obama it's not About Sun and Fun; it's About Politics.

Fun article about the camp Obama training for volunteers. They had 350 spots open and over 1,200.
Looks to be a fun summer.

CHICAGO - A Yale graduate who quit a finance job in New York to volunteer for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, Chris Wyant knows exactly how long he can afford to work for free.
Campaign 2008:
"As long as he lasts or until he wins November of ’08," Wyant said, laughing. "Or until I’m so bankrupt that, you know, I need to get a real job. Whichever comes first _ hopefully, hopefully November ’08."
On Friday, the 25-year-old Wyant was among 38 people set to graduate from the campaign’s new nationwide training program for volunteers and interns: "Camp Obama."
But don’t look for bonfires or singalongs at this nearly weeklong summer camp. Here, campers are holed up on a sparsely decorated floor of a downtown office building, gathered around folding tables where they learn more about Obama and how to galvanize support for him.



The campaign received more than 1,200 applications for about 350 spots, said campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki. The camp, which is in its second week, will run four days a week for seven weeks with about 50 people each week, Psaki said. Later, there will probably be two-day sessions, she said.
