Did you go to camp as a child? My sisters, two cousins and I went for a couple of summers to a place called Camp Gannet.

I remember having a blast. I still remember a lot of the songs. I recall a "Spooky House" night. Walking into a dark room where they had cooked spaghetti (no sauce), on the floor...to scare us.

It was for two weeks, and I remember being a little homesick but not much. One year, my parents took a tropical vacation while we were at camp, lol.

Boy, I bet if they left a few cheeseburgers on the ground then, you would've been terrified out of your wits!!

(And yes, I know what you really meant)

Ugh. I went to summer camp only once as a kid, and it was the worst week of my life (it was a week-long camp). Never again! I have a laundry list of the crappy things that happened at summer camp... among some of the things on that list, my glasses broke in half on the second day and a tick decided to make its home under the skin in my neck.

Mother nature and I are NOT friends, you see...

Chad Michael Murray · 05-04-2006, 01:21 PM

I want to hear the whole list of what went wrong!

Yes I went to a summer camp when I was a kid for many many summers. I was homesick my first yr because I was gone for 7 weeks. But I made lots of friends. Then summers after that I loved going, I had lots of fun, the last year I went was my when I was 14.

gilligan fanatic · 05-04-2006, 03:56 PM

Just Band Camp-lol It's 10 hours at school in the middle of August from 8 AM to 6PM. It's technically not a "camp" but I thought I would include it anyway.

MsOrange · 05-04-2006, 04:42 PM

my mother wanted to send me but i whined my way out of going

swedeace · 05-04-2006, 08:52 PM

I've never been to camp. It seems to be a love/hate situation. Either kids LOVE it or HATE it.

Courtnee · 05-04-2006, 09:38 PM

I'm going to yearbook camp this summer....

AB · 03-09-2007, 09:04 PM

Never got to go, wanted to though.

catlover79 · 03-09-2007, 11:44 PM

No, I was way too shy and scared to go away to camp!! I went on a couple of weekend retreats with the youth group as a teenager, but that was it!!

Fleet · 03-10-2007, 02:58 AM

Never went. My 6th grade class was actually chosen to go to camp... the entire camp. I didn't want to go so I didn't. We Virgos don't like to travel.

Something tells me you'd travel for Mary Anne.
