Hey, Camp Folks!
The Everything Summer Camp ‘Share Your Camp Story’ drawing saw an excellent response with nearly 30 entries! That’s why we’re publishing each and every one right here on the Blog! Today I’ve got two submissions ready to go from Ray M. as well as Louie B.! Their entries are both on the shorter side, but you can tell there wasn’t any shortage of fun at the camps they attended.
Here’s what Ray had to say about his stay at
“The funnest time for me at camp was when I got a black eye from a paddle stick. Not so much the black eye, but the paddle boarding. Because it was so much fun, the black eye at the end was worth it. I didn’t even cry. I paddled in the beautiful 
lake with my camp so-called friend. No name mentioned. JP and I became best friends at camp. We liked each other because we hung out and laughed a lot. My best friends at camp were JP and William. We were always hanging out together. We saw deer at camp while we were playing Frisbee. That was fun too. I like camp because I did a lot of activities that I usually don’t do. I’m hoping to win the dance-off next year.”
And here’s the entry from Louie B. about the time he spent at Beber Camp.
“My time at Beber was fun, it was the best EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved camp. I stayed four weeks because it was super fun. I did the rookie 2 week trial and I was able to stay longer. I loved my hobbies. They were fun. My favorite hobbies were Aqua Park and Recording Studio. Next summer I want to try other hobbies like water skiing and sailing. I love Beber Camp. So much FUN!!!!!!!!!! I am going to go again next year. I loved that my camp was only Jewish. Shabbat was fun. One thing that they should have is Radio Tower, where you get to choose music for the camp radio. The cabins should have a radio speaker for the camp radio. Super Cool!!!!! LOVE BEBER CAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite memory from camp was a sneak out to the library to watch a movie. We snuck Gatorade and popcorn for a goodbye party to the campers in my cabin who only stayed for 2 weeks. I can’t wait to see all my new friends next year!”
Ray, I’m glad you didn’t let the black eye spoil your time at camp. Good luck on next year’s dance-off! And, Louie, sounds like you pretty much fell in love with Beber. I’m glad it was such a hit that you stayed an extra two weeks! Way to embrace the summer camp spirit!
