You Know You’re a Summer Camp Lifer When…
At our summer camp in Illinois, we realize how the experience can be addictive–the excitement of the different activities, the smell of the fresh air and nature all around, and especially at our camp, the food also generates much excitement.
So, how do you know if you’re a summer camp lifer? Here are some of the signs:
- The day before camp starts feels like the longest day ever.
- You wear multiple friendship bracelets—all of which were made at camp.
- Although camp is months away, you already have a pile of camp supplies in your closet ready to go.
- You have an important, precise way that you must roast your marshmallows when making Smores.
- You don’t get homesick, you get campsick.
- Instead of counting down to your birthday or holidays, you count down the days to camp.
- At least once a day, you see something that reminds you of camp.
- Your non-camp friends have become annoyed with your camp stories because that’s all you seem to talk about.
Have you experienced any of these symptoms? If so, you can be proud to call yourself a Summer Camp Lifer. Congratulations!
