Drake's Take on Summer Camp!
Posted on
We’ve reached the final chapter of our Everything Summer Camp ‘Share Your Camp Story’ Contest! It’s been such a joy reading through all your amazing stories and sharing them with our community over the past few months. Each one has captured the true spirit of camp, and we’ve posted them right here on the Blog, one by one.
Today, we’re excited to feature our last camp story from Drake F., who shared his experience at Camp Rockmont. Dive into the adventure now…
“My favorite things at Camp Rockmont were playing disc golf and learning about homesteading. Disc golf was so much fun because I got to throw the discs really far and try to get them in the basket. In homesteading, I learned how to take care of animals and even helped feed the chickens. I liked being outside all the time, and I made a lot of new friends. I hope I can go back next summer and do even more fun stuff!”
Thank you so much for your awesome entry! We loved hearing about your favorite experiences at Camp Rockmont, especially how much fun you had playing disc golf—there's nothing like the thrill of throwing those discs super far! It’s so cool that you learned about homesteading and even got to help feed the chickens. Spending time outside and making new friends sounds like such a perfect summer adventure! We're crossing our fingers that you get to go back next summer for even more fun.

We’re not through sharing the camp stories we got this year just yet! There’s still a camp story or two from the Everything Summer Camp 'Share Your Camp Story' Contest! We're presenting each submission individually on our Blog, one by one. Next up, we have William F., who wrote in to tell us about his time at Camp Rockmont! Check out his submission is right here:
“My favorite things at Camp Rockmont were paddling on the rapids and going rock climbing during our overnight trips. I loved the challenge of steering through the fast water and working with my friends to get down the river. Rock climbing was amazing because I got to push myself to climb higher and see some awesome views. Spending the night outside made it feel like a real adventure, and I learned a lot about the outdoors. I can’t wait to go back next summer for even more excitement!”
Thank you so much for your amazing entry! It sounds like you had an incredible time at Camp Rockmont, especially paddling through the rapids—what an adventure! Working with your friends to navigate the river must have made the experience even more special. And those views from rock climbing must have been worth every climb—what a way to push yourself, William! And spending the night outdoors really does make everything feel like a true adventure.
We hope you get to enjoy even more excitement next summer. Thanks again for sharing your awesome camp story with us! For everybody else interested in this summer camp, you can check out Camp Rockmont when you click right here and, as always, thanks for reading.

A Little Slice of Heaven at Summer Camp
Posted on
Are you all ready for another entry to our Everything Summer Camp ‘Share Your Camp Story’ Contest! Reading through all your amazing stories and sharing them with our community has been a heavenly experience! We’ve been having a great time posting them right here on the Blog, one by one.
We’re excited to feature today's camp story from Heaven V., who shared her experience at Hidden Valley Camp. Let’s dive in:
"I've went away for sleep away camp for a couple of years. Not as many years as everyone else but in saying that I had so much fun and learning lessons. If I would have never went I feel like I would have been just stuck. learning how to open up and grow as a young adult. Open up even if someone doesn't like what I have to say. Going to away camp is something everyone should try once in their life. When going to Hidden Valley was one of those camps that they had people from all over the world. You hear stories about how they grew up and what they like to do at home. Makes you wanna go and travel. Not in a mean way but you don’t wanna be stuck in your own city."
Thank you so much for sharing your camp experience, Heaven! It sounds like your time at Hidden Valley really helped you grow and learn in ways you never expected. We love hearing how camp gave you the confidence to open up and connect with people from all over the world. Your story truly captures the adventurous spirit of camp and the inspiration it sparks to explore beyond your own city.
We're so glad you had such a meaningful experience, and we agree—everyone should try sleepaway camp at least once! If anybody else is interested in learning more about Hidden Valley Camp, click here to check out their website. As always, thanks for reading!
