Summer Camp


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.

    Magical 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!

    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.

    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.

    I loved summer camp so much - wish I could still go to it - such great memories! And I'm a huge fan of TAL too. :-)

    I 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.

    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 :-))

    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.

    P.S. Thanks for the link to This American Life, love that show, hadn't heard that episode before either!
