It was on a stage at summer camp that Gregg “Woody” Wood
found his calling.
The Charlotte Observer reports Wood, who co-hosts the
popular Woody and Wilcox morning drive-time radio show on WEND-FM “The End”106.5, first attended Camp
Fox Camp Fox is a YMCA summer camp for kids ages 13-17 on
Catalina Island, off the southern California
coast.
His mom thought a week at sleep-away camp would be good for
him, so Wood reluctantly packed up and was none too thrilled to discover that
the camp was sing-your-heart-out music intensive.
“Not so easy when you’re 13 and trying to be cool,” he
recalls.
Quickly, he realized that “all the cool people were clapping
and singing” and that one of the best parts of the day was at dusk, when the
300-some campers and counselors gathered nightly to sing and perform skits for
each other.
When the time came for his camp acting debut, he had the
honor of delivering the skit’s punch line. The crowd erupted in laughter.
“It was a thrill,” Wood, 41, recalled during a recent
interview in the Clear Channel studios. “I thought, ‘I’d love to feel this
every day.’ ”
