"(2008) I went last October 2007 as a class trip for 3 days. The place is called Manice Education Center. It was GREAT it was so fun! We ate the BEST food (like pancakes, cinnamon buns, cereal, bagels, cereal, and hot chocolate for breakfast) and we went canoeing! It's really hard to go canoeing. You have to use LOTS of strength to do it right. Everyone's real nice, and we got to go to a campfire our last night eat s'mores, and made skits for the campfire day. I'm going to the summer program on July 7-July 25 and my friend told me that you have to take a swimming test and if you don't pass, you get another chance but while you wait for the second swimming test, you have to wear a life jacket. (Good thing I know how to swim) You go swimming twice a day, EVERYDAY! And they teach you how to survive if your canoe tips over! I AM SOOOOO EXCITED! My friend wants to go since she had LOTS of fun too on the trip, and because she saw a "Cute guy" at the reunion thing and she want to meet him...Whatever. I'm only going to HAVE FUN! People, give sleepaway camps a chance!"

Our camp had 4 different groups. Like group 1 was ages 4-6. Group 2 was ages 7-9. #3 was ages 10-12 and the last group was ages 13-15. I'm Monica and I'm in group 3 and 10 years old. I LOVE MY CAMP."

"I used to go to summer camp from like 1st grade to 4th grade. I eventually stopped because I was getting more homework in 5th grade, and my friends that I had made there weren't going to go anymore. The camp also eventually shut down because of not having enough money."
--Ashlie<3, 12

"It really depends on what camp you go to, that determines whether your summer will be fun or not. I recommend choosing a single gender camp, as then the girls are not as competitive and it really takes the stress off of clothing and you will probably feel freer. That being said, I went to camp for 8 weeks and I couldn't say enough positive things about it. We had four camp dances with a boy's camp, and all the girls in my cabin stayed with me for all eight weeks, and they are now some of my best friends. The counselors range in age, but they are all really skilled at their jobs and I really felt I could go talk to mine about anything. Anyway, don't base your decision to go on the horror stories you here, really research the camp your going too, (if they give you reference numbers-CALL THEM! They will tell you things you can't find out on the website! ) If you are nervous about anything, never be afraid to call the camp, and definitely keep an open mind before going!"
--Julia

"Yeah Rose! Brown Ledge is AMAZING! I couldn't go back the past few years, but definitely check that camp out, it's AWESOME!"

--Tori

"Yes I went. And the camp I go to is only I week but this is how much I like it! Sometimes I wish it was the whole summer! My camp also is my church camp and so I know everyone there! Except some other churches go there to so I get to make friends too! And anyone who is afraid try It because camp is soooooo much fun!"
--Meg, 10

"I went to Girl Scout camp. I HATED it!! We hadda wash our own dishes, make our own sandwiches, and walk a whole MILE in the scorching heat with a bunch of mean, name-calling girls which made like 100 degree body heat, and change our clothes TOGETHER. And we played games on the itchy grass! AAAHHH!!! (etc. Of AAAHHH'S!!! ). Sorry."
--Grace, 8

"I went to camp for 8 weeks this summer and I had the time of my life. My camp has no schedule but does have achievements, girls return there year after year because it is such a great camp. It's a horse riding camp, which is why I went two years ago, but this summer I only rode for the first four weeks, and the rest of the time I focused on acting. The theatre program is amazing and I got to do a lot of behind the scenes and stagecraft work as well. This camp really teaches you responsibility as they do have lights out but the older girls (going into freshman year and sophomore year) can leave their Christmas lights on as late as they want (as long as it's not disturbing anyone). The minimum time you can attend camp is four weeks and it truly is helpful as you really bond with your bunks mates. There are no counselors living in your cabins (they're nearby) and they visit at night and your Junior Counselor at rest hour comes to visit you. The camp is full of traditions all of which we love and next year I'm going back to be a junior counselor and can't wait! Also they arrange cabins by the grade you're going into, not your age!"
--Claire

"To tell you the truth, no I've never even been to summer camp in my life. I've only been on a school camping trip...If that counts. Lol. But it probably is a lot of fun! (:."
--BeachBumm88

"I think when I was 10 a friend's dad was going to speak at a summer camp and my friend took me along. When we got there we were sorta mini counselors or something like that and well, on the first night the campers played a game of tag in the dark. The campers had 30 minutes to find the councilors, but there was a twist. If you got caught, the cabin that found you could do a prank on you that the councilor picked. My friend said that if a guy cabin found him they could push him in the pool. And this was up in the mountains, so it was freezing. He also said that if a girl cabin caught him they could give him a makeover. Guess what? the girls found him. He looked like a old lady with the makeup on..."
--Kyle, 13

"I want to go to summer camp. I might not because it's every summer for 2 weeks and last year I would have been in summer camp for one week. I should have been at my dad's."

--Meg, 10

"When I went to summer camp for the 3rd time, I saw my crush from sports there with his friend. At the dance, he asked me to dance for 7 songs. I did and he told me he liked me. I said the same and I hope we stay true. I love you, Daniel!!!"

’ÄúI went to summer camp but I did not like it very much the first two weeks. I arrived at the day camp a week later than most kids because my school let out a week later. I arrived and this guy whom I am enemies with from Hebrew school is in my group. Yay...NOT! Then the other girls were at first nice to me, but then they started to ignore me. Hey were also all the same besides me. We then played capture the flag and I was trying to figure out where I fit in. Then I met these girls who were nice to me. I also met this other girl. I was still unhappy because I wanted to be in the same group as one of my friends who was there. My unhappiness continued. Then I went for the second week (I had signed up for three weeks total.) The girls who I liked had a new friend who didn’Äôt seem to like me. Then later she started to like me. But she kept ignoring me. I told my parents so the next week my parents switched my group and I was with people I liked and I did more art projects. I even had lots of friends!! If I go to this camp next year, I will try to get in a group with people I like...’Äù

--Kaylynn, 12

"I went to a 7 week camp last year. It was kind of annoying though, ’Äòcuz they didn't have plumbing. They just had outhouses and those portable showers. And all the other girls were freaking out going, "How am I going to have time to put on my makeup!?" it was a little weird. But besides that I had a great time with my best friends Chris, Mark, and Peter. We got to go swimming and got to make s'mores and stuff. It was great."
--Ariana, 11

"My camp stunk. It was a big waste of time and money."
--Callie, 12

"My day camp stunk. This one girl was so mean to me and nobody noticed. And When I didn't a newsletter, the counselors wouldn't give me one because they said I probably "Forgot" that they gave me one. Also we had to run in the hot gym and the counselors hogged the fans. Nobody cared about what girls would like, so we had to play stuff like football. None of the counselors cared if I got hurt. Also, even if we had really heavy stuff, we had to walk an extremely long way to the pool. I hated that camp. I am never gonna go to camp again. I'M SO GLAD IT"S OVER!"
--Katie, 11

This summer at camp I made my new bff Gracie. And I luv summer camp for giving me a friend.

--Annie

Actually I went, but I was scared because I feel there are thieves.
--Franny

A lot of stuff happened this year, but let's not get into that. There is a boy name Chris, and he is 12 and me and my lil' sis like him. He knows she likes him. In fact, everybody knows. But he doesn't know that I like him. He is so cute, plus he gave me some minor compliments. Like one time I got some knew cool looking shoes that are white and gold, and theyre Airwalk, and he said Whose shoes are those? I said Mine. and he said Nice. and one time me and my friends were singing in the park. He was running from one of the counselors and he came and sat, and they stopped singing. And I said Come on, and they said No. and I started singing, and he said Yall wack, then Deka, you can sing. The moment he said that I lit up inside.
--Thandeka, 11

I went to Young Life camp. It was a blast...

I went to a rock band camp, actually, with 8 boys and 0 girls besides me! I was friends with 2 of them, made a new friend, and now have a new crush!
--Tavy, 13

I went to a summer camp this year, but it was way fun, but way annoying in a different way! Ok, me and my best friends Keria and Sky went canoeing to have some fun. Well there is a small lake there, and yeah. But it had leeches in it, so not so good. Ok, the rules are simple. You can ram into one another on the small lake, but nothing else. So, we just got done ramming in the hardest group ever, and then Alonzo and Jermie rammed into us and the canoe tipped over! And the canoe tipped over on me! It was so scary, bcause I was sinking, but then I felt someone tugging me upward, and I was dragged into my friends Janessa, Milssa and Tresas canoe. And then I had a swollen ankle, but other than that nothing much. And I didnt even get a leech on me. It was fun though, looking back on it now, but totally horrible!

Yes, and I loved it! It was a music camp in which you get to play in a band for a week, record your songs at an authentic recording studio, and have a concert. Many of the people there have a similar musical taste to mine (which is rare anywhere else), plus I, ermmm...Found a crush.
--Anonymous, 13

--Ino Y., 13

I went to summer camp last month. It was so AWESOME! I made a ton of new friends. The only bad part was our adults in our cabin wouldn't let us touch the air conditioning, so it was cold. And on my first night there, my blanket fell off and I literally froze all night. But, at camp, they say rain is not an obstacle, it's an opportunity, so we played in the rain every day! Awesome!
--Savanna, 12

Not this year, but one year I went. It was day camp. I had fun. There was a sports day where all we did was play sports. And then there was a horse day. I rode a horse who fell asleep while I was on it. Everyone else was behind me and waiting. We went swimming and took hikes. It was cool!

--Emily, 12

I go to summer camp this year. We don't sleep there, we just go in the morning and return to our house in the afternoon; almost like school. It was very fun. I wish it never finished. I learned a lot there. It was a sport summer camp. I make a lot of new friends. I have to other camp but this was my first time at this one. At first I was like nervous but then I just realized that that it was all about having fun. HAPPY SUMMER EVERYONE!
--Nathasha, 12

This summer, I went to a horseback riding camp where all the best young riders join together and learn even more! We got assigned our very own horse for that camp and learned even more about dressage, show jumping, and cross country. The Instructor told us that we were the best group of riders he had ever taught. I was sad to leave the camp because horses are my life, but I enjoyed it anyway!
--Marie

I went camping with my dad. WE went fishing. At night we couldn't sleep because coyotes were howling. The next day we cooked fish on a electric stove. After that we went swimming on PINE FLAT LAKE where we went camping. Then we went back to our camp site and we found coyotes eating our fish.
--Edgar, 11

I went to Rock Eagle this year and it was great. We did all kinds of games and things. I can't wait to go back next year.
--Doglover, 13

I went to Girl Scout camp for the first time this year. The theme was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. My unit dressed up as Oompa-Loompas and did a song and dance on parent night! I loved it!
--Journey, 13

Camp in Quebec was so fun. I saw my friend from Bethesda at Ouareau, and we had fun together.
--Abbey, 13

Everything happened at summer camp. I got a new boyfriend and got a good grade in fitness and survival. I loved walking down the rivers and having bread stick fights in my dorm with the other girls. You should really try going to summer camp in California. It is off the hook girl.
--Laurena

I went to a sleepaway camp. Our councilor Miss Lauren HATED pink. So me and my 4 friends took all the pink we could find in the cabin and totally decked out her bed!!!
--Brittany, 11

I went to summer camp and I had a blast! We did a lot of cool stuff! It was awesome. I loved it.
--Emily, 10

This year I went to basketball camp with my cousin and. B. F. F. Our teacher was miss CARALINE WILLAMS!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? I GOT TWO SIGNED T-SHIRTS AND A VANDERBILT POSTER!! WE LEARNED TONS OF STUFF!
--Hannah, 8

None of my friends from school went to summer camp this year, so I didn't go to summer camp this year. But I went to summer camp last year and it was boring.
--Nicole, 13

Yeh, I went to camp and it rocked. I even made friends with a mega hot 16 yr old and ever since we kept in contact with each other. I was even his date on banquet night-that's when I got my first kiss. I know he has a GF but I really like him (he doesnt know).
--Rock artist, 13

Yes I went. I polished a thunderegg. Our cabin was named the Rattlesnakes". And there was a leader named Megan.
--Megann, 8

I went to this camp specifically for kids going into seventh grade, and I had a blast! I made lots of new friends, tried new things, and awesome stuff like that. It was pretty traditional as far as camps go, so I got to do pretty much some of everything.
--Maddie, 12

This year we went to our schools summer camp, and we had fun! We went rock climbing, we went to the beach, and then we went to Six Flags!
--Omar, 10

I went to a summer camp up in Julian, California and I was actually a camp counselor. I had so much fun! The camp was for kids in 3rd through eighth grade. Anyways, I completely fell in love with a ten year old! He was so adorable and cute and sweet! I know it's wrong but I like him, a lot! I always miss him and Im always thinking of him! So yeah, that's my camp story! - I luv you Juan Carlos a.k.a. Beano.
--Brianna

I went to dance camp for a week. Thats it.
--Tessa, 10

I have gone to two different camps and they were both amazing. I have to say though I kind of liked Timber-lee in Wisconsin better than White Pines Ranch in Illinois. I don't get how all of you people hate camp. And to those who are talking about like kissing people at camp, what's with that? Don't you go to summe camp to get away from drama like that? Geezz, man.
--KaityBaby, 13

So me and my friends like saw this house that sits right next to the daycare and we notice some1 moving inside. And it has been abandoned for years so we were trying to figure out whether or not it was haunted. We looked it up and it turns out the owner died there and the place is haunted!
--Imani, 10

Know what happened? it rained every day!!!
--Shelby, 9

Not a regular camp, but I went to a youth camp. They held it @ Mars Hill College in Ashville NC & this year was special 'cause my Mama & Daddy (finally) let me go BY MYSELF"! We stayed from June 18th (I know, I left 4 camp on my birthday) 'till June 22nd. WE HAD A BLAST!!!!
--Kati, 13

I havent gone to summer camp yet, but Im going next week! All I know is that Im staying with some cousins and my sister, but Im scared to go! Do you have advice for ME??
--Alexandra, 12

Yes, I go to summer camp every year and its so much fun. There was a lot of fun stuff to do, like swimming and archery. I also made a lot of new friends.
--Adrienne, 12

I go to camp every year and it rocks! Last year when I went I...I got caught making out with a boy and got suspended from the pool. But it was worth it: ). We go far out on this magnificent mountain where you see the most beautiful sunset below the meadows on the hills. It's just breathtaking. Looking forward to seeing the boy this year. The best part of camp for me is that Im actually somebody to them, unlike at school where Im nobody. ROCK ON CAMP LOVERS!!!
--ManUtdGirl, 13

Omg!! I think I like this boy, and Im going to camp with him, and he wants to ask me out and give a card and a rose!! And I dont really want a bf, but u know hes sweet, cute, and sooo nice to me. But hes a little on the player side. Idk. What should I do? can u help me? Im scared for camp!!
--Deallie, 13

I went to summer camp in the fifth grade. It wasn't all that I had expected it to be. My cabin mate talked about nothing but her boyfriend that broke up with her. It was getting so annoying. I started hanging out with other people...
--Jaycee, 10

Yes, and I hated it! I didn't know anyone (except one kid), the staff ignored us sometimes, and they don't care if somebody's mean to me! They didn't give me a newsletter, and when I told them that, they said, You got one, you probably just forgot. Also there was no air conditioning downstairs, and upstairs, the staff sat in front of the fan! We were SOOOOOO hot! Some kids were bored. I AM GLAD IT'S OVER!
--Noname, 11

This year I was really nervous about summer camp, but it was so fun. I'll never forget that summer.
--Grace, 12

Actually its quite a coincidence that I found this today, because in a few days I leave for camp. It will be my first year at this particular camp, but I went to a different camp 3 years in a row. I especially loved an acting program I did. We had a huge Drama house" which was this old wooden house with a big stage and lots of benches for sitting on. We also had lots of costumes in our backstage area. We got to play lots of drama games like freeze and bus stop, and we even organized our camp talent show. My favorite part was when we wrote and preformed our play, Fairy Tale Court. Camp has so many great opportunities. I cant wait to go back!
--Sami, 13

Boo hoo. Im not going to camp anymore, but yayyy: I am taking dance class, so I can try out for dance team this fall!!
--Chloe, 13

I went, and it was terrible. : ( There were mostly boys, the leaders kept postponing stuff, and u have to take a long walk to the pool. I only knew one kid there! Also, I don't think the leaders thought about what girls might like. >: ( I am not coming back there next year...
--Mystery, 11

Yah, I went to summer camp. It was fun because we did all this extracurricular stuff that we usually don't do at regular school. It was for the Gifted & Talented program. Nothing very exciting happened though, except that one of my friend's friend losther Nintendo DS one day and was very panicky about it, which is fine.
--Penguinlover, 10

Im going to camp next year! It's a performing arts camp, and a bunch of my friends go there too! It's gonna be awesome!
--HarryPotter, 13

Yes, I went to sleep away camp for a week and I made a lot of new friends. It was fun.
--Adrienne, 12

Im in a camp, and it's not fun. You play video games that don't work half the time, the counselors yell a lot, and sometimes they act as if it's an all boys' camp by making us do stuff like football. Also, all the fun stuff keeps getting cancelled, postponed, or ruined. The only part I like is the pool. Nobody bosses you around. Im never going there again once it ends.
--BeagleGirl, 11

I AM GOING TO A SUMMER CAMP FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!!! Okay, its a Christian camp that everyone in our church ages 10-12 are going to (there is not much in our church). THE CHURCH ALSO PAID HALF OF IT FOR US! I really hope I have a great time.
--Alyson, 12

I am going to church camp-that is-UNITED PENTECOSTAL!! ACTS 2: 38 PEOPLE!!!!!
--Leynah, 12

I go to a camp in New Jersey and I dont have any friends there, which is boring. I dont like it there because I dont have fun and I just sit there all alone with two teachers. On the bus I sit by myself and I feel isolated from the rest of the kids. I told my mom I didnt want to go anymore and she said okay once I told her the truth. If I wanted to be bored I could have stayed home for that week. Yesterday was my last day because I acted up so bad I got kicked out forever.
--Anonymous, 12

I go to a theater camp in Maine. Its really cool because theres lots of swimming and acting. Its great except for the 19 hour flight.
--Zoey, 11

Yes, I get stuck going to summer camp every summer. I hate it there. The staff members are mean and there's a lot of annoying kids there. I have a lot of friends there too, but the staff always splits us up because they'd rather have us concentrating on the activities instead of having fun with our friends.
--Kelly, 13

I went to a 'Broadway' (musical ) theater day camp for the first time (I went to the improv camp last year ) where we made our own musical!! It was so much fun- the counselors gave us our songs, and we made up the rest! Even though there were only 10 kids, I became friends with pretty much everybody! After 5 days, our musical was ready, and we performed it in the theater in front of our parents. It was so much fun, and I hope to go to that camp next year, too!
--Thalia, 10

And at my theater camp, there were three kids that I knew, and I was friends with one of them, so when I saw them at camp, I was really happy that I would be in camp with my friends.: - ).
--Thalia, 10

I am going to summer camp this year and I think its gonna be a lot of fun. Its going to be my second time going to camp! The first time I went to camp was kind of SCARY but I met a LOT of new friends! I also got a boyfriend but we down talk that much any more because we live in different towns!
--Kay, 12

Yes I am going to camp.
--Kaylyn, 9

I went to girl scout camp this year. It was called camp grove point. Some kids were really mean, but at least my best friend jasmine came to the same camp as me. Anyway I didn't let them ruin my really fun time. We swam, played soccer, went kayaking, and much more! It was the best ever!
--Maria, 10

I went to Hoten Haven Christian Camp. Ive been going for the pass five years. I love HHCC It's an awesome place!!
--Amanda

I did and I loved it!!!!!!!! I actually got to go on a kayak and I met somebody. He was soo nice to me and I used to get mad when he started messing with other girls and he told me he wasn't doing anything and I always hung with him until the counselors thought we were doing other things. We had a meeting and they thought since we were older and more mature we knew right from wrong. All the time at camp we separated from each other and things felt awkward for people to know about us. During ampfires we'd sit together and he'd make me a S'more. When we had like these camp games or treasure hunts we'd be tied and it would me against him and we'd tie and have a tiebreaker. On the last day we promised to see each other next year and we have been.
--Deja d4l

Rachel, 9: u r 2 young to be making out with a hottie @ camp!
--Kayla, 11

I had a wonderful time. A horse escaped and kept me up all night!
--Hop, 10

Friends are good for everybody.
--Shamara, 8

Here are the people I have met that I remember at camp my first time: Tara, Nika, Felicia, Kaylee, Brianna, Brienna. Second Time: Samantha, Lauren, Taylor, Melissa, Kendall, Hannah, Lindsay. I left out Sarah cause I already knew her...
--Hop

When I went to horse camp I met a cute boy named Zack.
--Carly S, 10

At camp, my nickname is Bailey. It is not my real name, but I like it. All the counselors are mean, but the CIT's are nice. We have units, with names like Sherwood, Little House, Whispering Pines, Gypsy, and Timber Top. This year, I am doing 2 sessions, one for 4 days and one for a week.
--HarryPotter2.0, 10

One time, when we were hiking to pick berries for jelly, the horses from the farm next door came up to us! Apparently horses like mulberries! Then it started raining and we had to WALK a mile back! My friend Sarah ( I knew her before I went, she's in my girl scout troop) put her wet stuff in her suitcase. It smelled like wet dog!
--Hop, 10

Hi. Just so you know, Camp is one psycho-freak thing that only kids who like school go to. I don't go to camps where you study all the time. I don't go to camps where your active every second. I don't go to camps where your bossed around and treated like little kids. I only go to VBS. 9Vacation Bible School).
--PsychoGirl

Yes. Well my best friend told me he like me as a girlfriend. I was surprised that I spit my milk all over him. Talk about embarrassing! And then my crush at camp told me he liked me but that got my best friend mad. So it ended up me with my crush and my best friend with another girl.
--Jenna, 13

I went to summer camp and everybody was soo nice. I fell in love with my counselor. Dalvin was the cutest guy there but we just talked. Since, my cousin, DJ, worked there we never did any sneaky things. At first, I was all, 'man, I don't wanna goooo! ' then, I had a great time. I always do that.
--Deja d4l

Yes. I am going to summer camp. But it's not all that great. Sometimes the staff acts as if this is an all boys camp and make us do stuff like football. But there are actually GIRLS there too. I don't think the staff thought much about what games girls might like, too. And when a few kids did something bad, we all got badly punished. How unfair! The only part I like about camp is swimming. At least THAT'S good.
--Kat, 11

Im going on Sunday. Ill write the details when I get back!
--Natalie, 11

This year at camp, I spotted a hottie on Monday. Talked to him on Tuesday. He asked me out Wednesday evening. Broke up with him early Friday morning. Officially shortest relationship EVER!!!! LOL!
--Kayla, 11

Im going to camp tomorrow!
--Pop, 13

Sara- Don't feel bad. Im sorta like you at camp. I'd be your friend if I knew you. : ).
--Pop, 13

I go to a Girl Scout camp in Plainwell, so no boys. Well, last year, In my tent there was a girl who screamed at a spider and I had to squish it every time. My friend Sarah accidentally put her wet suit in her bag and it smelled like wet dog all week!
--Abby, 10

When I went to camp this girl Amanda called me a backstabbing liar. And this hurt my feelings and I got sad.
--Anastasia, 10

Im going to a Harry Potter camp and a Sunfish camp. Sunfish is where we do lots of water stuff like fishing.
--Abby, 10

I can't meet boys. It is a Girl Scout camp. The boy who drops off luggage is cute though...
--Abby, 10

I go to a day camp. It's really cool and you can do stuff like swim and play video games. But it's every day and I wish it wan't. It's a tiny bit too active. Otherwise, I like it.
--Katie, 11

No I didnt go to summer camp this year.
--BeachBumm88

No way, summer to me is a time to spend with family and friends at home!!
--Lizard, 12

Rebecca, 9: U r 2 young to kiss and have a bf and all that stuff.
--8 ), 11

No I did not go to summer camp did u what happened.
--Brooke, 8

My sibs and I go to summer camp every summer at Camp Highlander. My big sis Daniela will be a counselor and this summer my twin Caitlin and I are gonna be junior counselors. Subha, a lot of different things happen at camp - but what happens in the jungle stays in the jungle! For instance, last summer, the most popular gal in camp invited me to sit with her and her friends at Movie Night, lol. In the middle of the movie, (it was Cars, BTW) the gal whispered to me to follow her and her buds outside. They were smoking cigarettes outside the cabin! I ran back into the movie cabin and got a counselor - the gal and her friends were kicked out of camp. Don't worry though, that stuff hardly EVER happens!!!
--Dorianna, 13

Sherry, 13: where is this movie camp? it sounds like a total blast!
--Kayla, 11

Last year, when I was 10, there was this camp counselor who sneaked up behind me and my friend Emily and grabbed our legs (male...eww), so we called him Psycho and made several plans to eat lunch at a place where he'd never ever find us, AND to disguise ourselves as boys. Lol xDDD.
--Courtney, 11

Yes it was AWSOME, oh ya, except the rabid raccoon. Seriously, A rabid raccoon was running through the camp. No one got hurt, but everyone was safe.
--Happycamper

Yes. I met a really cute boy who I liked and he liked me and we were so happy that we both liked each other. But then something bad happened. A new girl joined up and started flirting with him! I got so mad!! But one day when she flirted really hard with him he got water duty and so did she! She came back to our cabin all I KISSED DEREK! I got so mad but the next day was my turn for water duty and when he found out he switched his days for water duty to my days! So when it was like night I asked him if it was true about the kiss and he went all quiet and then he was like Yeah it's true I kissed Amy but I only did it because she said she liked me and she also said you hated me so I got all sad and she hugged me and then she kissed me" and then I was like Amy's always mean to me. Duh! I LIKE you not hate you. And then me and him kissed. Then next day Amy sat next to him at breakfast (fruits and veggies) and grabbed Derek and kissed him! I went over to him with my 2 best friends Hayley and Megan. Of course I was in tears but he pushed Amy away and he was like Hey ladies come and sit at my lunch table. So we sat down and me and me and Derek spent breakfast feeding each other and then Megan was like Oooooo! and Hayley was like Well Meg, looks like Becca has found her future boyfriend." And then I said Future? I don't think so" and then we all laughed but then Amy came back and was like DEREK! UGH! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SWICHED YOUR WATER DUTY DAY TO WORK WITH...WITH...HER! And she was pointing at me and I was like Amy calm down and back off Derek's my boyfriend And Amy was like I WILL SEE YOU AND DEREK AT CAMP NEXT YEAR BUT I WON'T SEE YOU TOGETHER! Bye Derek hunny," and we all laughed.
--Rebecca, 9

Yes I did. My camp was amazing they taught u how 2 act and when they thought u were prepared they did like a mini movie and @ da end u would walk on ur own red carpet and go 2 ur movie premiere (there @ da camp). It was called movie camp. So it was SO MUCH FUN!!!!
--Sherry, 13

I went to a Christian camp with my youth group last year and it was the best. I had such a good time we played games had concerts and stuff it was fun.
--Janelle, 12

LOL...This is like the topic for me cause I just came home from camp! Well ok. So we went hiking, kayaking, we had a HUGE mud fight, we went swimming, bouldering, rock-climbing, rappelling, we did low element courses, w had church every night, I got to meet my fave singer in the WHOLE WORLD (Wayne Kerr), and I went with my 2 friends, and made 1 friend, I also did A LOT more but my mind is pretty tired right now...OH! And the bus ride was 7 hours long!!! AND our A/C broke! OMG it was TERRIBLE in that bus!
--Macy, 10

Yeah, I did and it was totally awesome. My mom wouldn't let me go to a sleep away camp so I went to a day camp. I met a lot of new friends and the activities were awesome and cool and every word that means awesomest thing in the whole universe!!!!!!!!
--Emma, 9

Not yet this year, but for the last 4 years (not including this year) I have. Let me tell you, it is SOOOOOO much fun!! At first it is kinda scary, if you have never been before, but by the next hour, you will forget all of your worries. It really is something that you look forward to all year (and it is a good time to meet a crush**).
--Rekiah, 12

I Love my camp. Its perfect for me. There isn't really any dating : ( but that's what you get at an arts camp!
--Amanda, 13

I've never been to summer camp before [but I HAVE been to camp for GirlScouts] I was going to go this summer but now I can't =[[ To tell the truth, Im a little scared of camp. You know, the pranks, the scary campfire stories, not getting enough chances to go to the bathroom, and not being able to make new friends. Can anyone help?
--Maria

Yes! And I am leaving next week for camp again! I will be going for a week! The camp that I go to is sooo much fun! All of my friends go too! It's awsome!!!!!! : ).

Hi. My name is Sara. I go to summer camp every year. But I dont have any friends. So I am usually in a cabin by myself and I do all of the activities by myself. I eat by myself too. Idk why no one likes me. All I want is a friend...
--Sara

Yeah! I am going to gymnastics camp. It is sooooo much fun! I love to go there every summer. They teach me more gym stuff...And it is soo much funnn!!! <3 Kaytlinn (hey this is an answer to the change your name subject. ) question: if you could change your name what would it be? my answer: I wouldnt change my name because it is spelled sooo unique. But if I had to change my name it would probably be Amber. : ) Yayyy!
--Kaytlinn, 9

Well the time I am writing this is June so I am still in school but I went to acting camp like, 2 years ago. Yeah HATED it! it was far so none from my school went and everyone else had friends there because they all went to the same school and I had no friends! Everybody was a brat! So kids, here's a tip: If you are going to a camp thats not in the area of ur school, BRING A FRIEND!!!!!!!
--Megan, 12

Yeah! I went to horse camp! It was hot>.
--IC, 11

I love summer camp I went once but it was so fun.
--Hi, 12

Not this year yet. I go to camp in July, but I been the last two years. I go to church camp and every year I meet new people who share the same love for God. I did so many things it really did not seem like church camp. We went swimming and hiking. We even have talent shows and bonfires. If you go to camp you will most certainly love it.
--Hunter, 11

I went to circus camp last year. It was AWESOME! But this year I am going to overnight night girl scout for a horse program! YA!
--Gloria, 11

Ive personally never been to a summer camp before but some of my friends are going this summer and Ill tell you when they get back!!
--Michaela, 12

I go to a adventure amp and it's really fun! Too bad it ended after 3 days. The activity is so exciting. I remembered that I was fooled by a marshmallow. You see, I was roasting the marshmallow. I only roast it for one minute. The Marshmallow look likes it's still not melted. But just when I was going to eat that marshmallow, it dropped in the fire. It was half Christian and half adventure camp. I have no problem on making friends and activities. And I hope I can go to that camp next summer!
--Cherry, 10

No, I didn't go to summer camp!
--Savannah, 12

I go to Christian Summer Camp, also called VBS. Like you Tara.

"I went to a day camp for a week and it was sooooooooooooo awesome! The camp even had a 4-story high zip line! You got harnessed and then you had to dangle your feet and then slide off! Well, to be honest, I screamed my head off because it felt like you would fall the whole way down. It offered archery, swimming rock wall, soccer, baseball and so much more. I can't wait for next year! "
--Grace, 10

I did and eventually I made some really strong friendships but Im super shy so I have to wait for someone to come up and talk to me. But it turned out to be really fun and this 11th grader I made friends with there turned out to live only 10 minutes away from me, and she goes to my school!

It wasn't really summer camp but it was a camp that happened during the summer in the apartment complex. My friends, Aang, Kati, and Danni decided to pack our bags and walk around the whole complex. I liked it when we got to pack up our stuff. I had made a list and told everybody to put these things in our backpacks: A snack, a journal to write about this, some candy (I brought the coffee suckers), a cap, some tennis shoes, a flashlight (we were going to stay out until 9:00), and a stuffed animal for protection. When we got outside, the sky had already turned red. First, we wrote in our journals about what we saw. Second, we ate our candy (Danni let me eat the rest of his King size Snicker Bar and Aang let me have the rest of his twizzlers). Third, we walked over to the pool and stared at it. Turns out that Aang pushed me into the pool and everybody jumped in. Last, everybody dried off from their blankets and sat in the grass. We told scary stories while eating our snack. It was 8:30 and it was pretty dark. We said good-bye and ran home. IT WAS AWESWOME!!
--Aang, 9

I went to camp Nuhop. Dont go there. Its not worth it. Girls have to use the boys bathrooms, the food is terrible, and the camp counselors are terrible to you.

--MissHandor, 13

Basketball camp. It was fun, but I didn't know anyone. Which stinks...

I went to summer camp last summer. I had so much fun, and I met lots of new friends that e-mail me all the time. I went for a month and I never felt homesick. If you can, go to camp because it is awesome!
--Christia, 12

Yes. I went to Science Camp before. It had many problems. For example, we don't learn a thing! Also if you mention anything except science, you will get in trouble. And the counselors are mean.

"(To : Rebekah, 10) Don't worry about Summer Camp! It is TONS of FUN!! You will make new friends there and I think you will have the BEST time of your LIFE!!!!! (To: Daphne) Okay listen here! (1. ) You are 18 YEARS OLD!!! I wouldn't expect you to go to Summer Camp (2. ) Just because you didn't win a contest, doesn't mean that you can just go and say "She only won that because she rich! THAT IS JUST RUDE! (3. ) At least she gave you something for your birthday! (yo-yo), some kids in the world don't even get ANY toys! (4. ) You are acting like a SPOILED BRAT!! I know people have opinions about cmp and I respect them... But you just sound like somebody who nothing else better to do than talk about how bad a camp is. >: O **mumbles about how rude she was**.

I had a great time! All of my friends were there and I met a great new friend named Chantelle. OMG I love her so much! Shes my homegurl foreva and eva. I also got to go to Kings Dominion and I kinda found out I really liked one of my best guy friends named Michael. So I asked him out and although he didn't like me back, he was totally nice about it and not at all like EWWW! DUDE I DONT LIKE U! It felt so good for him to finally know. I felt like a weight was lifted off my pretty shoulders. Oh and now I have a really cute Canadian BF, Brody and I love him so much. Chantelle tells me that I was too good for Michael and I now know she is right. If you like a guy and he doesnt like u back, its not you, its him. HE DOESNT DESERVE YOU SO JUST GET OVER HIM!

In 2006 last year I went to this place at the park and there where a lot of teachers. It was an Olympics camp. Once they caught me throwing rocks so they almost deducted points from our team's world cup points. (World cup is a contest and my team won).
--Jon, 9

If you had a bad-camp experience: PLEASE GO AGAIN! Often, you'll like it more if you go again, and I recommend it before you completely rule it out. Think about what happened, it probably wasn't all that bad, and you won't think that in a few years when you think back on it. Just remember: NO MATTER HOW BAD ANY EXPERIENCE YOU HAVE IS (THIS DOESN'T ONLY APPLY TO CAMPING), THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEBODY HAVING A WORSE EXPERIENCE OR SITUATION SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD.
--Kayla, 11

I've never been to camp but Im going this summer for two weeks. Im really excited!!! : D.

I didn't go to summer camp yet, but I don't know if I'll make many friends. Im not very sure if I want to go, but if I do, I need encouragement.

It changed my life forever. I was depressed from 2004- 2005, my last year in elementary school. The summer of '05 I went to my camp and met the people that saved my life. They showed me I was loved for who I was, and I felt I could be me around them...
--Elise, 13

I went to summer camp this year with my friend, but I really only hung out with her. I didn't try very hard to make new friends
--Jackie, 13

Ok, so, ya know how my crush found out I liked him, I lied and dumb me said it was a joke, and I didn't really ask him out, some girl yelled super loud on the bus that I liked him, I don't even know if he remembers.
--Kayla, 11

Yes I did, in fact I had a horrible time. I never went back, first of all there were bugs tons of mosquitoes, roaches and flies, mostly gnats. Also I entered a contest for fun, I lost to a girl named Maria S. She was sooo spoiled with her and her little friends + the Adults were boring because we didnt get to hike, swim in the lake or anything. By the time to go it was almost my birthday, and all She gave me was a stupid yo-yo and a picture that had a chocolate cupcake on it. I wanted a real one, not a fake one! My mom and dad were furious with them, so we never came back. This dang thing is so long I'll stop. Byez.
--Daphne, 18

I went to Girl scout day-camp.

No I have never been to camp.
--Natalie, 11

I had a terrible time because my 1 and only friend, Ryan (he's my boy friend too. ) dumped me and I loved him because he was the only boy who didn't call me a jerk. I could barely even look at him because I hated him from then on. He was in the same cabin too. Then my archenemy Lori took my boy friend when I was going to ask him to take me back. That's why I, Mykayla L, hate summer camp.
--Maykayla L, 10

Uh a lot of problems with me.
--Kate, 11

I have this summer camp I love and there's a talent show there. I am an awesome singer and I've decided Im going to sing in front of probably no one I know. At max 100 people. I sang last year and got positive result so Im doing it this year with a middle school group.
--Mariah, 12

I went to summer camp this year. I didn't have fun because: I didn't want to go in the first place, and I hate nature. My parents made me go. My choices were summer camp or summer school. It wasn't even in this state. We didn't swim, hike, mountian board, rock climb or play archery and other stuff. The food was terrible. It was everything that the pamphlet said we would do and have. I didnt have any friends there. I will never go to summer camp again.
--Anonymous12, 12

Message from IML: Hey Lori! Yes, we are planning on talking to Casey about her experience at camp sometime early next year. That way she can tell us whether or not she keeps in touch with her camp friends! Stay tuned!

I've been going to sleep away camp since I was nine. Trust me, it's REALLY fun except the one I went to used minimal electricity and there was often no hot shower water, and there was no heat or air conditioning in the cabins.

I went to NLCC Boot camp last year and this year I staffed. It was a lot of work but it was still really fun. It is not like a normal camp it is only one week in the summer and you spend the whole time in classes and doing PT. It sounds totally boring but believe me its not!
--2cute, 12

This year I went to a really fun youth camp!! The topic was Amazing race" so we went all over town to find clues and a bunch of stuff!!

--Angie, 12

"I went to this church camp this summer that's a girls AND boys camp. So they had a dance at the end of the week. All of the older kids and some of the younger one's wanted a date to the dance. Well, there was this one guy who I thought was totally cute. His name was Zach. I had some cabin mates ask him to the dace for me. I got totally rejected. So when it came to the second to last slow dance at the dance, he ended up asking me to dance with him! It ended up he didn't exactly know how to slow dance and I kinda had to teach him. But it ended up so great. Anything can happen at a summer camp. Just keep an open mind about it.

YESSS!! ! I have been to Phantom Lake YMCA Camp this year and last year. It is the best camp on the planet! My best friends were Willa, Destiny (or Dee) , and Chelsea. When I was there, Chelsea and I also made friends with some boys from another tent. Their names were Alex, Greg, and Albert. They weren't mean or cocky or anything; they were just normal kids. Also, a girl in my tent named Quin got a huge care package full of candy and at our Taps Talks we would eat it and sometimes we'd get off the suject of what we were trying to talk about. Taps Talks were done right before they play Taps (obviously). One night we had a friend in the tent tie a piece of yarn around our wrist to signify friendship. It was special because we had tossed it to a person and gave them a compliment. A girl named Kyia said I was really funny because I initiated a lot of jokes. The piece of yarn is still on my wrist and I don't plan on cutting it off any time soon. Plus, my counselors were AWESOME!! ! They were Jess, Nelle, and Hannah. Im definitely going to PLYC next year!! !! !! !! !! ! ".

--Makayla

My summer camp experience was fun. At first I was scared of going because I thought I would miss my parents too much. The best way to get rid of that fear is by talking to someone like your parents, counselors, or even friends. I went to a 2-week sleep away camp. The best thing to do is make a friend as soon as you get there so you can talk to them about your fear. I met a girl the very first day and even though she left me I still met new friends. The food was ok. The first day I felt awful. I missed my parents when they left and I talked to my friend that came with me about it. She said that she felt the same way. Anyways later we talked to our counselor and set up a date after the first week so that we could call home. After like 2 days camp got better and I told my mom and dad I was doing Great! So if you are scared just think about how much fun you will be missing and how many friends you will meet. I hope my advice works and my camp experience was great because everyone was so nice!
--Ana, 13

OK so Mom made me go to summer camp and it was horrible! The other kids had been there before and all knew each other. The first night they stuck my hand in warm water and I peed all over my bed. Then my counselor made me go talk to the camp director and I had to wear Pull-ups for the rest of the time I was there. I never wet the bed again. I didnt have another accident the rest of the time so my counselor didnt make me wear Pull-ups any more. I stayed for another 2 months and I made friends with the rest of the girls. They told me that they were sorry. One week later the camp had their cook out we all drank so much pop (like 5 cans right before bed) that every one in the cabin wet their beds except me (I peed before I went to bed and then I woke up 4 times in the night to pee, I was really tired the next day but it funny any way). So it wasnt so bad after all.

I wasn't having a good time. When we went hikig my partner was home with the flu and so I had to hike with an icky kid who pushed me into the poisonous plants, put a live spider in my bed, and yelled, 'HEY, EVERYBODY, AMBER'S A PIG!' My best friend stood up for me when the icky kid threw rocks at me and the other campers. I wasn't interested in this.

Yes, I've been to camp - it was science camp and it was in Drumheller and it was a lot of fun. We learned a lot about dinosaurs and other aspects of paleontology. I was really homesick but other then that it was great. I made some really cool friends. Some people think science camp is strictly for dorks but that's so not true! You don't just to science-related activities. You also do swimming, crafts, campfire- it's great...

Her hiking partner was home with the flu, and so she had to hike with an icky kid who called her Diapers, made her eat dirt, pulled her shiny blond hair, and then shouted: HEY! LOOK AT NIKKI!" when my friend did a cartwheel and swam in the lake filled with dirt. I stood up for Nikki.

Summer camp was the worst of all. First I had to sleep in a tent with 3 girls: one was my girlfriend Karen, another girl was my sister Laura, and worst of all, my bossy friend Sierra. Then I fell into the lake. It was VERY COLD. I climbed out safely and sloshed back to my group in my underwear. My group pointed at me and shouted, YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR CLOTHES ON, DIAPERS!" and my sister comforted me...
--Albert, 10

Weird how nobody's posting after Kyla. I got my mom not to send me to summer camp this year, because every year, I go with, like, 5 year olds and up, and no offense to any 5 year olds, but the activities are sort of on the young side for me. Plus, then every one close to my age group thinks Im a freak one they find out about the grade Skippery". I like to say skippery.

I went to summer camp at Camp Bashore with my Boy Scout troop. The first half of the week was so dreary and it was raining 24/7. We even had to build a dam to keep a little river caused by the rain from flooding our campsite. It worked pretty well, actually. Anyway, the second half was very sunny and we finished the week happily.

It was the best! My camp does trips for certain divisions. So my division went on two overnights, which were, the Ten Mile River (A hike, but we didn't hike the river itself. But we still hiked about ten miles. ), and the Delaware river (you go in canoes. ). They were really great trips. We went to a ropes course called Ring Homestead, and bowling at Holiday Lanes, about an hour from camp. The worst thing about camp in the Catskills, is that, its FREEZING in the morning and at night, and that it rains, A LOT!!!! We only had one weekend out of four when it didn't rain! But everything is a half an hour later, including wake up, so we get up at 8:00 on rain days. Camp was the best experience! Im saying this as if it were my first year, but its my third, and for the first time in all my three years in camp, my two best friends were in my bunk!

I went to from 1st grade-6th grade for gymnastics camp. The W sisters Taylor and Mora came, Shannon C, Beyonca D, Sarah, Margo and Katrina R, The L twins Kirsten and Donna, Coach Jenna C, Megan F, Nickie S, Cassie V, Lou P, Ava G, Merissa and Melissa (Coach Jenna's daughter or Jen Sr. ) It was Soooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun! And there was a Coach Kiera who taught me a cartwheel in July of 1995. I was the oldest of 22 others. The year of 1995 was SO magical. In 1999, I learned a roundoff and a handspring. I broke my wrist a year after(2/12/2000). I learned a backflip/frontflip and a split in 1993. Gymnastics camp ROCKED! Not only is it All Girls, my friends were here. And all 4 coaches!(I didn't mention Chrissy and Dana. ) The coaches wre Jenna, Kiera, Chrissy and Dana. Camp ruled!

I went to a soccer camp and we had skit night and half of my cabin did one skit and half did another. We played this awesome game called Ethiopian Escape. We had campers against coaches games. The coaches were SO cheating but oh well. All week was very hot. We swam in the creek or the pool. I tripped over this HUGE rock at night. I hurt my elbow but I was ok. It was really fun.

I went swimming in a lake, I went HORSEBACK RIDING, I climbed a 40 foot-tall climbing tower, I went to cool craft shops...And best of all, I learned more about God, and I became closer to Him! I shared a cabin with 7 other girls, and OH MY...It is REALLY interesting to see how 8 girls, all with different personalities, get along together in a cabin for a whole week. Over the week we all became really good friends, and our counselor was really nice. I wish everyone could have as awesome of an experience as I did!

Yes, as a preschooler. I went to Taylor's Tots(a preschool day-camp. ) I went 10 years ago and Mrs. Taylor(or Mrs. K) was so nice. I was one of the 16 Tots(members) of Mrs. Taylor's preschool day camp. If you're Angela(Mrs. Taylor's child) have fun at her day preschool.
--Briana, 13

My Summer camp was so amazing. A guy I liked confessed and we snuck out in the middle of the night. We went to this huge lake that was really beautiful but the only light was the moon dodging over the trees. We sat down and talked. And then he leaned over, and kissed me. My world lighted up. I locked by hand into his and we sneaked back to our cabins by 2:00am! Nobody ever found out! Not even my BFF!
--Holly, 12

Well, I met a guy friend and we stuck to each other like glue. We had lots of fun together, but when the last day came, he left without saying goodbye. Luckily, he knows my phone number so he calls me every night. We're having dinner tomorrow night at a nearby cafe. I haven't seen him in 8 months. He's really adorable and cute. To tell you the truth, I have a major crush on him!!!

How is summer camp.
--Breanna

Camp, in my opinion, is vacation away from your family, and problems. If it's sleep away camp, all the better! But my sister has gone to camp TWICE and 've never gone!!! >: @! ANGRY!
--HarryPotter, 12

I went to girls camp...First it was fun and then I hated it. We slept in big tents...8 people to a tent. We were cramped and it was freezing. And it smelled REALLY bad where we were. Everybody was getting sick from the heat and from the food...Which it took you ONE HOUR (no joke) standing in the Arizona heat just to get you food that is going to make you sick! All the camp was a weeds everywhere and every time you stepped locus and grasshoppers would scatter everywhere and crawl all over your shoes. After the third day we just all wanted to go home. We were tired, dirty, smelly, blistered and bruised and hungry. I do not like girls camp and never want to go back.
--Miss Green Day, 12

I like the camp I go to because I get to try new things like fishing, archery, and other things like that...

It was fantastic, we had soo much fun, we went rock climbing and we made rafts and rode them on the lake. We had a disco and I got my very first kiss outside when we were all eating biscuits. It was so amazing, we just went behind a pillar and kissed underneath the stars.
--Holly, 12

My summer experience was amazing! I met really great friends, we had a praise/worship/rock band there, we had canoeing, swimming, horseback riding and millions of other things! I don't know why people say camp food stinks and it's rotten. The camp I went to had the BEST food ever!!!! Chicken fingers, hamburgers, Chicken sandwiches...EVERYTHING!

This summer, I went to church camp at Highland Lakes at Lake Travis. It was so fun. We had BMX bikes, riflery, archery, bible study, and good food. The camp counselors were really nice and so were all the other people from different churches. They even have waterfront were you go to the lake and do stuff like the blob, the iceberg, the aqua jump, and banana boats. The food was great there. Every morning, we had pancakes or waffles, biscuits and gravy, fruit, and bacon. We had barbeque the first night for dinner, and the other lunch and dinner menus varied. I can not wait to go back next year.

I went to a summer church camp in Panama City Florida from June 19th through the 23rd. It was amazing seeing all the others kids my age come together and worship God in a way that can't be explained unless you go. I met a lot of new people and made some awesome friends. Playing basketball against the boys and losing was all fun and games and we all ended up being friends after that. The beach was amazing and I am definitely going back next year. The trip to Florida was the most exhausting part only cuz we had 2 ride buses for 16 hours...
--Ashlee

I go 2 Horse camp every year for a week. This year I met a boy. I found this hat and didn't know it belonged 2 a person so I was bored during the square dance so I sat down in the shade and was tossing the hat around and when I threw it really high it landed in a llama pen and the llama began chewing on it. So I thought o well. Then a boy w/ dark hair and blue eyes came and said Have u seen my hat it is black with a gold rim. Now that was the hat the llama was eating so I said Uh...A llama ate it" And hes like Yea right" Then he saw the llama chewing on his hat and said HEY!" And jumped over the fence and I jumped w/ him and began pulling on the hat well an adviser saw us and sent us 2 a time out area. Well I found out the guys name was Kevin and he was 12 like me. I asked him y he asked me if I saw his hat. He said b cuz I thought u were pretty. I laughed and now we r gr8 bffs but I only c him at camp.

I went to a gymnastics camp the best! I went with my friend we learned how to do the bars, beam, vault, and floor, and on the last day we did a routine for our parents. Our teachers were super nice, and helpful. Then everyday we got to play a game, like chicken in a hen house, gladiators, and shark attack, chicken in a hen house was my favorite and I won, twice! I made some new friends too. I learned how to pull myself on the bar, get the high one, do front hip rolls, and back. I learned to get on the beam properly go backwards without looking back, do a cartwhel off the end, a handstand in the middle, and kicks, and turns. On the vault I learned to get on it, put my legs through and do a straddle. On the floor I learned back handsprings, aerials, and jumps. I loved it soo much and I cant wait to go back next year!
--Ali, 13

I went to summer camp and I cried at least once a day. I missed my Mommy so much. On Wednesday we went out to play games. That was the worst day of the week. I did not get a turn at the dunk tank. Thursday was bad too. I got lost! Friday was good. I had pizza! Three big slices.

I LOVED camp! we went to camp Allen it was so fun! It had a snack shop, pool gym, and a water slide (it was blue tarp) . It was my first time away from home Monday-Friday! My favorite part was sleeping over night. My cabin leader was a teenager and no one that I knew of had a teenager! She brought a sign so we could decorate the door, it said Fantastic 4" then our names, and She even did a hair wrap for us! We all got a bunk bed with all our stuff under it. My mom even got me Hershey's Kiss and Hugs! I made a new friend too! I loved camp!

--Bridgette

Summer camp was one of the most wonderful times ever! The counselors loved kids, and the other campers were SO nice and fun. I really want to go again.
--Katherine, 12

Yes. It was a religious sport camp. I had a blast! My cousins went too and they loved it. We got to play sports and do silly contests and what not, then we went to church and it was fun. The food was good the counselors ROCKED and I made TONS of great new friends. You should totally go to camp.
--Kay, 12

I got to camp every year and this year was particularly interesting. There were so many love triangles and confusing things going on, it was a true soap opera!! In the end, everything didn't work out in everyone's favor. Except for my friend Laura, the guy she liked asked her out!! and it was soo cute. As for me, the guy I liked iked some other girl...Who had a boyfriend and then he told me everything he hated about me!! I was so bummed. But its ok I've got Laura helping me. But seriously this camp is the most fun I've had all year!!!

My summer camp experience was great I made a lot of friends I didnt even want to go home because I hate seeing my mean brother the only thing bad about it was I got 2 ticks attached to me and saw 3 crawling on me.
--Rachael

I went to a Girl Scout camp called Camp Natarswi which stands for nature, arts, and swimming. I LOVED IT!!!!! The food was good and one of my favorite hobbies is rock climbing and I had made myself confident about climbing and I was so happy that I made it to the top. The good news is that I earned my Paddle, Poll, and Roll badge without being a girl scout in my program Kayak Kids. I had so much fun!:).
--Allison, 13

I've been at summer camp for the past two days, and I love it! At this camp, we're placed in a band with other kids and we get to play (and eventually record) music! It's serious business, but it's been so much fun! Im vocals for my band, and although I don't sound too great (6 hours of singing at a time completely wears out your vocal cords!), it's awesome! I've made a few good friends, too. They're all boys, most of them older than me, but that doesn't mean anything in the world of music...They're great musicians! It's actually very surprising how much you can accomplish at summer camp if you put your mind to it. I started out nervous about going, but soon enough I loved it! It's alright to be a little bit afraid of what to expect, but just know that you'll have a good time despite any setbacks.
--Amelia, 11

I was great we had separate cabins for girls and boys we played tricks on, each other went water rafting, swam on the lake, we had s'mores, told scary stories, and we even had a talent show it was so fun!
--LAURA, 9

I haven't gone yet, but my mom did and she wasn't allowed to stay because her mom smelt the beds and wouldn't let her!
--Savannah, 13

No I hate summer camp.
--Henoise

I love summer camp! I go to this academic camp where you can choose four courses you want to do, such as writing and philosophy, both of which I did. I made a bunch of friends. The food is really good. Plus, after dinner, when classes are over, sometimes they show movies, or you can swim in the pool. They did a talent show on the last night. I love it! I only wish it were longer than a week. But I've gone for the equivalent of a month, since I just finished my fourth year there. You can go from ages nine to fourteen, so I only have two more years there. :( But when you're fifteen and sixteen you can be an assistant counselor, and then a counselor after that.
--Dragonmistress, 12

I went to this day camp. It was so fun! You get to choose Classes" like pottery, dance, basketball, soccer and drama. I loved it!
--Rose, 10

I went to summer camp, and it was really fun. Im going into middle school, and it was really great to see some kids from my elementary school.

--smile like u mean it, 12

It wasn't this year but last year I went to a G. R. E. A. T. (gang resistant education and training)camp and it was really fun. The officer of my school chose several other kids in the same grade to come along. There were police officers who came to talk about stuff like gangs and how to avoid them. Then we'd go to the gym and play games like hockey, dodge all and other fun games like that. Then we'd go into the police vans and go to places and food and getting there was completely free for the kids who were going. We went to places like the skating rink, bowling, the movies, the reunion tower, on the DART trains and buses, to a real jail, Peter Pipers Pizza, Celebration Station, Hawaiian Falls, A wax museum, and so many other things. It was so much fun because I met new people from different schools. If I could I would go back in time and repeat those 2 weeks!!! G. R. E. A. T. Summer Camp was GREAT(that's a joke) that year!
--Anonymous

Getting a boyfriend.
--JADA, 10

I went 2 camp this year and 3 years straight before that. I met my BESTEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WIDEST WORLD at camp 3 years ago. We swam, did archery, challenge course(total hard-core man!) Bible study, campouts(thank goodness it was on Tuesday!)and my favorite: SONGTIME!!!(trust me, if you go 2 CLS, song time ROX UR SOX!)Bugs were awful last year though, and that ruined my experience. I got more than - and Im not kidding about the number. I've still got scars - 137 chigger, ant, and mosquito bites!!! But CLS is still the best camp I've gone 2 in my life!!!
--Leilani, 13

My summer camp experience was soooo much fun!!! The food was great, the counselors were so nice, and I made tons of new friends. The down side, though, was whenever we went out at night, somebody would trash our cabin. So we were cleaning up our room at 10:30 at night! We found a girls underwear way on the other side of the room once! And they hung our bras and underwear on the flagpole one morning!!! The worst part: we never found out who did it! :(.
--Susan, 12

I went to camp a long time ago it was a camp for disabled kids like me. It was called Texas Lions Camp. It was held in Kerville. It took us 3 hours to drive there. My 1st year my best friend Janesik went and it was a BLAST! But my 2nd year I was really homesick and Janesik did not go. I wanted to go home so badly.
--Caitlin

Zee: Does the guy go to your school or something?
--Lori

I am from Ireland, and to us, summer camp means going to a sort of activity center and doing sports, arts and other things until about 4pm, when we go home, so Its quite different from an American summer camp.
--Paul, 12

My parents don't let me go to overnight camp, but every year I go to a dance camp that's a day camp.
--Anonymous

Last year I went to summer camp, it was AWFUL!!! My BFF and I were the only 1's that were 12 years old and the counselors treated us like babies!! So My BFF and I just had to do something to make things fun... We asked if we could have slippery slides, water games, and water fights, and we did. Besides that one day of fun, My BFF and I decided that next year (this year) that we wouldnt go, and this year we did even more fun things, we went bowling (which was fun 'cause we arrived early and no 1 was there), to a carnival, shopping @ the mall, and we went to LaRonde (an amusement park) and went on the new roller coaster The Goliath (which was the scariest ride in that whole amusement park) and some other rides. So I definitely love this summer and hated last summer! LOL.
--4me2knowandu2findout, 13

Kyla, you should have pulled the positive points out of your camping experience. If you do that all of the time, life will be a whole lot better for you, and everyone else.
--HarryPotter, 12

Camp is sooo fun! I just got back from camp today and I loved it. My cabin was great and my counselors were sooo sweet to me. Then there were these three guy counselors who were hot. And I mean HOT. They were named Nick, Casey, and Dustin (Dustin was called Tex, because he's from Texas). I loved Tex so much, bcuz he's sooo nice and HOT. My tentmates loved to tease me about him (in a fun way) because I was so obsessed w/ him. We gave him a codename (Tiki) and Casey a codename (Briefcase). Casey had a codename because my friend Destiny liked him. After our closing ceremony at the end of the week, we all went outside and sag songs. When the songs were all done, we went around and gave everyone some goodbye hugs. Not only did Tex hug me, but my friend Leah got a picture of him and me together. Also, I met a friend named Albert and he is from Tokyo, Japan. He was my best guy friend that whole week. My best girl friend was named Chelsea, and she is from West Virginia and I picked up her accent for part of the time. To Albert and Chelsea: thank you for absolutely rocking. You made my week much more enjoyable. To Tex: I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND I MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!".

I've never been to camp (scowls), but Im writing a story about camp. I just love to read those romance camp stories. Cheesy, I know, but Im a cheesy person. (Cheddar, to be exact. Bad joke. I know. ).
--HarryPotter, 12

Im going to this summer camp this summer that I've been going to since I was 10 with my friends Lexi, Harrison and my BGF (and my crush for 4 months) Trey. It was SOO fun last year! We all would sneak out at night to this empty cabin and play Truth or Dare every other night. And the lake was SO nice! It is 3 weeks long and Im going on the 10th of July. WHY WONT IT COME ALLREADY!!!!!!
--Violet, 13

I didn't go yet but Im about to. Did you go?
--Crazy, 12

I go to this summer camp every week for 7 years now. I go this Sunday but like always Im sure I will have LOTS of fun.

Its a recipe for pure fun!

--GirlScoutsecret234, 13

Kyla 13: don't listen to those mean little campers. If they call you Diapers, tell your counselor you wet the bed, push you to the lake and make you play Truth or Dare. Don't listen to them. You might get in trouble.
--Laura, 10

Camp was so fun! Kyla, we did a game like that but not with chili. Instead we had to tie our hands behind our backs, and use our faces to search through a bowl of melted chocolate to find 1 mini marshmallow. It was one bathtub size bowl and 6 people at a time did it. It took 10 min. Before my BFF found it! SO FUN! Then people came by and pushed us in! Then I came out of the tub COVERED FROM HEAD TO TOE in chocolate and hugged my other friend. Everyone was a mess! It was so fun!
--Emily, 13

MATT- this is Kathrine! I never liked you! I liked someone else and I snuck out of the cabin in the night with Alexis. Me and my BF kissed
