Can’t stop thinking about summer camp? Well, you don’t have to! We’re thrilled to keep the camp vibes going strong by sharing all the amazing stories we received from our ‘Share Your Camp Story’ Contest right here on the Everything Summer Camp Blog for the remainder of the year. Each story captures the spirit of camp in its own unique way, and we’re excited to showcase them all with our community!
Today, we’re featuring a heartwarming story from Belle W., who shared her unforgettable experiences at Camp Lake Hubert with us. Jump into her adventure right here, right now…
“Camp was an amazing adventure! It was my second year and I was really looking forward to all the fun activities. Of all activities offered at camp, horse riding and archery were my favorites. I loved being able to connect with the horses. My favorite horse was named Monkey. I enjoy being able to get up early and head to the stables to take care of them before breakfast. I was able to get to 2nd class level to be trotting with horses. I also got to water ski this year and it was something I didn’t get to do last year. Another fun activity that was new is the camp to camp swim. We were able to swim across the lake. I’m a swimmer so this was very exciting!
Our councilors were amazing, fun and supportive. I would like to some day be a camp counselor. My parents have mentioned how confident I was upon returning from camp. I enjoyed seeing old friends from last year and making new ones. This year I got to see my neighbors at camp and we really enjoy our time at camp together.
I’m already planning to go again next year and the summer only just over.”
We’re so glad you got to enjoy a fun summer with horse riding and archery at summer camp! Connecting with the horses must have been a great experience and reaching the 2nd class level for trotting with Monkey is quite an achievement! Water skiing and the camp-to-camp swim across the lake sound like fantastic additions to your camp experience, especially as a swimmer. It’s wonderful to hear that your counselors were so supportive and inspiring; I bet you would make a great counselor someday!
Thank you so much for sharing your story, Belle. We hope next year’s adventure is even more memorable!

Till then.
