Nicolas Wells Musciano, aka the Italian Stallion, Musc, is one of Birch Rock's most dedicated counselors. With his ever present smile and strong circle of old friends, it wouldn't be a stretch to call Nick Birch Rock's Friendliest Counselor. Nick has been coming to Birch Rock since 1998, attending every season except for 2007. Currently Nick is the Field Director and can be found every day teaching Basketball and all other field activities.

Nick found Birch Rock through one of his fathers's patients, Eli Hutchins. Some of Nick's earliest memories of Birch Rock are of counselor Thomas Joyce, who helped Nick out of homesickness and gave him his famous nickname. Thomas was known for calling "Nick, the Italian Stallion, MUSIAAAAANO!!!" at whatever chance he had except, in a moment of self restraint, when he subbed in for Nick's math teacher in his hometown of Falmouth, Maine. Another of Nick's mentors was Matt Downs who was field director for several years while Nick was a camper. Besides the field activities Nick also enjoyed Campcraft.

Some of Nick's favorite moments as a camper were the Prince of Biroca skit and the late night party in the grove that followed a showing of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. He has vivid memories of Birch Rock trips like Mahoosucs, Goose Eye, and the hardest, Moose River.

As a counselor Nick started in Upper Camp, but in recent summers has moved down to Cabin 4. His favorite moments in recent years have been the Campfire seasons of 2009 and 2010, the counselor vehicles Millennium Falcon & Death Star, and 4th period Basketball every day.
