Mussel Harvesting & Camp Oochigeas

In the season finale of Ed’s Up, it’s the home stretch for Robertson as he lands in Malpeque, Prince Edward Island. His last job is a doosy: harvesting mussels. The crew explains that today, they will be working on rougher seas than they usually encounter, so Robertson better brace himself. Watch as he strains to load 36 kg of mussels on board the boat. After loading 5,897 kg of mussels, the crew returns to port for grading, sorting, weighing and cleaning. This job is not only difficult, but it’s also dirty, cold and wet. This is the perfect reality check for a pampered rock star. After cleaning up, Robertson sets off for Camp Oochigeas in Parry Sound, Ontario, where he’ll work as a camp counsellor. At the end of the day, Robertson is joined by his bandmates and together, The Barenaked Ladies play a live, private concert for the kids. This is a day that the kids of “Camp Ooch” won’t soon forget.
