While president of Paramount Pictures, he turned out hit films such as Raiders of the Lost Ark and Saturday Night Fever. As chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company, he transformed a film and theme park company with $1.8 billion in enterprise value into a global media empire valued at $80 billion. In 2005 Eisner founded
Camp was delayed last year, in the midst of the Disney drama, and Eisner comments tartly in his prologue that he was distracted by "people who could have used a few summers at camp earlier in their lives."Perhaps it would have helped if that Keewaydin code had included an admonition to "know thyself." 8-page photo insert. On the witness stand, Eisner had to explain away his own memos calling his former pal a "psychopath" and a liar, among other things.Eisner could not stop himself then, and he cannot stop himself now.

It takes alot of courage to handle the rigors of camping, in my opinion.. Makes for a happy BART ride One of the most powerful men in Hollywood says that much of all he needed to learn he learned at camp. He cites examples and weaves them with the present day experiences of two Orange County boys. Seldom has changed within the boundaries of Keewaydin over the last 80 years.I liked the way that the two men blended their voiceit helps to make one not focus so much on who said what and stay with the story. Having attened a summer camp (Camp Beaverbrook in California) from 1977-1985 (until it's closing) I, too, can say that much of who I am today is derived from those experiences which give. Andrea said Inspiring Story. Fascinating read on his family and their commitment to helping the less advantaged. CAMP is an inspiring story on life-long friendships and values that were formed during the summers at an incredible camp in Vermont. This in an inspiring look into the life of one of the most powerful men in Hollywood! I was impressed that all of the proceeds from the book will provide scholarships to send underserved children to Camp Keewaydin!
