I have constantly enjoyed going to summer time camp since I was just a little girl.
- I have never seemed to be able to get away from it.
Now that I am an adult, I just take groups of children from our church to summer time camp each year. I would live at camp if I could, but camp has changed quite a bit since I was a child though. I can remember mornings in the cabins that were so hot that my good friend and I ended up sleeping outside under the stars. Firstly, all of the cabins have air conditioner. My campers could not believe it when I told them that I did not have air conditioner in my property growing up. They said that they would never come to camp if there was no air conditioner. I told them a story of how one time I did get to stay in the only property on the campus. Every year at camp, there was a competition. Whichever property had the tidiest points got to stay in the air-conditioned property during the second week of camp. There were over two hundred campers each summer, so the possibilities of getting the tidiest property award were slim, but one year my team won, and my good friend and I got to stay in the air-conditioned property for the entire second week of camp. It was like paradise to us. When my friends and I party, my good friend and I still talk about our amazing week in the air-conditioned cabin! I told my campers this story, they did not believe me at first, so I had an old friend who has been on staff at the camp for over forty years verify my story.
