Didn't like it - at the end of meals they poured all of the bowls of milk together - fruit loops and cocoa krispies - ew. Next came Camp Merriewood - went with all my friends from home - hated it. Then I went to Greystone with no one else (although my childhood best friend ended up there a few years later). I loved Greystone. I went for 8 summers. I broke my femur in 91 at camp - went back 3 more years.<BR/><BR/>Camp sucks until you find the right one.<BR/><BR/>AlexandraLexie Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098341595017424673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18879154.post-77057626244030219132008-08-18T19:27:00.000-04:002008-08-18T19:27:00.000-04:00Mean Girls!!!I never went to camp.

I thought summer camp was for the rich kids who lived on the East coast. :) I've actually never known anyone who ever went to camp!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885128896437455570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18879154.post-26094936213746273942008-08-15T17:59:00.000-04:002008-08-15T17:59:00.000-04:00I went to church camps in my preteen years (and wo...I went to church camps in my preteen years (and worked at one in my late teens). I remember feeling rejected when I didn't get invited to sneak out of the cabin at night. I got lumped with the most unpopular girl because our moms worked together. I hated my preteen/early teen years. What an awkward, horrible time!Lady Wanderlusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14776544530807096284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18879154.post-18942691417688852972008-08-15T17:05:00.000-04:002008-08-15T17:05:00.000-04:00Camp was always a grab bag.

I did go out of my way to talk to anyone who looked lonely or sad (this is the big sister in me). My summer camp was for 2 weeks and I hated to go home every summer. This camp help 3different 2 week sessions and I always begged my parents to let me stay the whole 6 weeks, but they never would let me. I guess money was an issue.<BR/><BR/>My sister went one year to the same camp, but a different session than me - she hated it! So, different strokes!<BR/><BR/>I know all about Hannah Montana and I have no little children to blame it on. I simply like the show... a lot... I DVR it... It hurts a little to admit that!<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your new little sister, I have a feeling that you are going to love this time that you get to spend with her!Smughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09262748591981536337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18879154.post-47982264672389780722008-08-15T15:26:00.000-04:002008-08-15T15:26:00.000-04:00Camp was not fun for me till "church camp" in my t...Camp was not fun for me till "church camp" in my teens that was actually held on two different college campuses. In fact I went to one of those colleges after high school cause of all the good experience I had there. At regular camp, I was the loner, no one to hang out with and was picked on most of the time when I was around other campers.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741628474644880465noreply@blogger.com
