Did you go to summer camp when you were a kid? I never did. I wasn't really a fan of the outdoors or physical activity or most people. But my husband recently came across an old episode of This American Life about camp. I had no idea what I was missing.
I was sent to summer camp from the time I was 7 up until I was 16 or 17 and I loved it! Arts and Crafts were my favorite and what's funny is that friend ship bracelets are hot right now, but I learned how to make them at summer camp.
ReplyDeleteMagical Time :)
I went to summer camp--and specifically remember hating the first couple of years..I cried and dreaded it. hahaha. However, eventually I grew to love it and some of my best memories are from summer camp!
ReplyDeleteI ALWAYS wanted to go-but my mom never let us (boo)

I suddenly want to go swimming in a pond! We had to go to church camp as kids. Not as cool as this, but it was still pretty fun. It was in a pretty area with lots of creeks and waterfalls.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are great! I always wanted to go to summer camp when I was little and make friends from across the country and stay in touch forever.... sadly that didn't happen. but these pictures are making me wish that it did!
ReplyDeleteyour blog is so cute :)
I did go to camp, but it was a day camp. Does that count? It was fun, but not as fun as your pictures here look.
ReplyDeletesummer camp is one of my favorite things. i was a camp counselor in college at a summer camp whre kids came for a week at the time and it was the best job! i still wish sometimes that i was a camp director full time and just lived at camp! haha
ReplyDeleteI loved summer camp so much - wish I could still go to it - such great memories! And I'm a huge fan of TAL too. :-)
ReplyDeleteI so wish I had gone away to summer camp. I like to joke that my parents didn't send me because they loved me so much, but in truth, they simply couldn't afford it. I do sometimes feel like I missed out a bit. But I collected other summer memories instead.
ReplyDeletecamp greenway biiiiiiiitches!!!!!! yeah, it was awesome. just as awesome as the picture of s'mores.

I did go to summer camp....it was a super outdoorsy summer camp (ie hike in the woods for days at a time) and I was the typical homesick girl (I also remember that I attracted all the bugs near by and ended up with a gazillion bites). Recently (as in just yesterday) I ran into a gal who actually recognized me from summer camp-we chatted for a while and remembered all the fun times about summer camp (despite homesickness and bugbites :-))
ReplyDelete"or most people." I LOVE THAT!!
ReplyDeleteHa! "wasn't really a fan of most people."
ReplyDeleteI know that episode and I love it. I did go to summer camp and it was pretty awesome.
I loved camp, many of my friends are camp friends too. It's like a cult. It's amazing how close you feel after 10 days in a cabin together.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Thanks for the link to This American Life, love that show, hadn't heard that episode before either!
