RIP. Mine starts on the fourth, but I won't be there till the sixth.

Hah. I start doing that tomorrow.

Does anyone else wonder why they make us play sports at these camps? I mean, come on, most kids aren't even athletic or coordinated enough. And sports in general aren't very entertaining. They're nothing compared to stuff like art or music or video games. I wonder who decided that playing sports was cool... if I ever meet them, we are going to have a long, long talk.

I used to go to this camp at my local nature park when I was in elementary school. On Wednesdays, we would go to a pool which was run by the parks and recreation service that ran the nature park. I never really understood why they did this, because it doesn't really relate to nature

I have played a few sports, but they were all whacky fun sports.

(And I guess they do it to teach them coordination and stuff)

What, are electric drums. Are they those thin ones? Cheese? I'm allergic to cheese.

Yes, the thin ones, okay.

At my youth camp we have something called Bible study

It’s leader regulated wrestling

Leaders even participate

Hawkflight 2020-03-03 01:16:35 UTC #37

was the wrestling co-ed?

EmperorDuckie 2020-03-03 01:18:49 UTC #38

No hahah, though the girls did started Bible study among themselves. It ended up being not good, because this specific group didn’t know how to fight safely or not take it personally

MataNuiNuva 2020-03-03 13:31:27 UTC #39

Hahahaha Duckie! I forgot this place even existed, I got an email when you responded. Man it's crazy looking back at all this!

EmperorDuckie 2020-03-03 14:19:57 UTC #40

Haha, you mean TTVor the summer camp thread?

MataNuiNuva 2020-03-03 19:48:41 UTC #41

The boards in general. Def a throwback lol.

Hawkflight 2020-03-03 20:18:26 UTC #42

I suppose at this point I could say I've worked at a special needs summer camp for three summers now.

EmperorDuckie 2020-03-04 02:41:42 UTC #43

@MataNuiNuva haha well welcome back

@Hawkflight wow that’s really cool. Do you work directly with the kids?

When I was 15, my parents signed me up for a summer camp without my consent. I wasn't too happy, since I had been on about a million vacations already that summer and I was getting tired of it. But then I actually went, and I ended up enjoying it.

Hawkflight 2020-03-19 15:58:22 UTC #45

yep, I was a cabin counselor.

EmperorDuckie 2020-03-19 17:59:42 UTC #46

That’s cool

I've been to a couple of camps, Look Up Lodge in Travelers Rest, SC and Ambassador Camp in Lake Waccamaw, NC.

I personally liked LUL better, simply because there was time to stop and rest, read a book or something. Oh, and they made trading cards for a couple years, and I thought they were the coolest things.
