Mom... this isn't Camp Rock...
As someone who never went to summer camp, I think of cute log cabins, middle school crushes, being reunited with your long lost identical twin sister, and sing-alongs around a campfire.Actually, that's not exactly true because I DID go to a horse riding day camp the summer of my 4th grade which I kind of did love and even, thrived at. But then my parents were like, you're not becoming a horse girl, doll. And I was like, k, I'm good on camp then, no offence.
"My youth group stayed at a camp site for a weekend trip. We were all in the cabin playing card games when someone with a gorilla suit ran by and started banging on the door. It really freaked everyone out because it was no one in our group. They came back a couple times until one of the adults confronted the person and they ran away. They never found out who the person was."
"That night, a group was doing an overnight in a three-sided shelter and decided to have a peanut butter fight before bed. One kid fell asleep with peanut butter in his hair and woke up when a skunk walked into the shelter and pulled a piece of his scalp out." "That and coupled with the fact that our camp counselors were sadistic and told us pre-teens a bunch of scary stories then jumped out of the woods in the middle of the night screaming with bloody Jason masks. I stayed in my tent most of the time after that."
"My camp counsellor thought it'd be a good idea to take her group of 11-year olds out of a warm cabin and instead, sleep overnight on the outdoor stage they used for camp plays. I was so cold, it was unbearable. I remember being tense and scrunched up in a ball. Every movement I made was like dipping my legs in ice. Eventually we walked back at 4am because all the kids couldn't take it anymore. It was scary to be so so cold and tired in the dark.
We were on this really long canoe trip in Northern Ontario. Like DEEP wilderness. We were on this gorgeous clear lake when we found a secluded beach. It was really Beautiful. So we decided to stay there for the night." "The whole day and even sitting around the fire that night felt weird. But I couldn’t really place my finger on it. I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of soft country music. None of us had a stereo so I stuck my head out of the tent to see what was up.
