My father made me go to camp against my wishes - once.
The first day there, I 'accidentally' shot the instuctor in the leg with an arrow. Ooops.
No more camp for me.
DG..lmao !!! I can just see you doing that too.
*note to self: slap Moony for that Tonk's comment*..you were warned.

We did not really have any camps where I grew up, so I never went. My kids are too much of home bodies to go away to camp. They are all going away for a few days this month with their friends. I hope it works out!
Camping? NATURE?
Actually, I went to a rustic camp in Yosemite for four year. One light bulb in the cabin. I went until I learned to appreciate hot water.
How many days out of those four years, Shira?
And, BB, there's no slapping Moony, ever. If you must slap someone, Harris is always available.
Okay LS..if I have to. Now where did the cow boy go?
My poor traumatized psyche was permanently destroyed in that hell hole of a 4-letter word, C A M P
I went first year for 2 weeks, than 4 weeks, than 2 years of 2 months.
The only camp I ever went to was with the boy scouts...other than that I had the Jersey shore to spend my summers.
Sounds like someone had their finger put in a cold cup of water one too many times.
Edit: I was talking about Mamie.
I loved camp. My troop went to Camp Chickagami and Sacajawea. No cabins for us, except the time we went winter camping. Such fun times!

there will be no slapping of me either shamey =P
It was worse.
I'd just turned 6, was in the brownies (baby girl scouts) and this was my first chance to go to camp 'with the big girls'. Each morning the campers would all gather around the flag pole for the official raising of the flag and the pledge of allegiance. 2 girls had the honor each morning of actually raising the flag and standing up there, on a hill, for the pledge. Names were drawn at the beginning of camp for the names of the 2 girls who had the honor each day and my name was one of the ones drawn! I was SO excited that morning that I had to go to the bathroom...... really bad.
I WAS 6 YEARS OLD FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
The outhouse was occupied when I got there by 3 senior scouts who were discussing their boyfriends while using the facilities. I BEGGED them to let me come in and 'go' and they just kept laughing at me. I ran back to one of the troop leaders but I just couldn't hold it any longer and I peed - leaving a large, wet, OBVIOUS stain on my pants.
The leader was sorry but insisted that I still go up there for the flag raising. To hide my embarrasment, she put HER OWN raincoat on me. So there I was - standing in front of hundreds of girls, wearing an adult raincoat with sleeves rolled up about 6 times and so long it hung down over my shoes, and absolutely convinced that every girl in that camp knew why I was standing there - dressed like Bozo the clown.
When I got home I quit scouts and just walked away. Obviously I still carry the trauma.
There you are! I was just trying to draw you out of hiding.
there were other NICER ways then sugested abuse of me
Oh, Mamie, that's horrible! Someone should've kicked that scout leader in the head.
Harris, I thought you would make the sacrifice as a gentleman. My mistake! :-P
