[Debi]

24. Please, please, please don't ask him about his flute

:scared:

[Az]

2. BoyScout camp (weekend jamborie)

Its also the weekend that I figured out that not believing in god was radically different from most of the kids around me.

[MemphisTiger]

3. Boy Scout camp for a week every summer for four years

There was always that kid who cried toward the end of the week because he was homesick. The food was horrid.

[Jara sang]

5. Day camp

I won best camper or most improved camper or something.

[mark11727]

6. Day camp a million years ago...

I was maybe ten or twelve.

The son of one of the owners was a camper there the same summer.

He was a nasty little bastard, always breaking camp rules, getting away with it, and waving it in our faces... he had the makings of a young "Dubya" without a doubt.

One day, another camper who didn't care who this kid was or who his father was either, smacked the shit out of him.

The applause from the other campers was deafening.

Heh.

7. music camp, for 5 years

Now I coach adult amateur musicians at one chamber music camp and kids at another. Love it! :-)

[Misunderestimator]

12. I spent a summer in HS at Interlochen music camp

[GoddessOfGuinness]

15. I always heard great things about Interlochen

Did you enjoy it?

[Modem Butterfly]

8. I went to several camps...

Science camp, TAG camp, music camp, acting camp. I got a lot of camp scholarships. Seems like my folks just shipped me off in mid-June and I didn't come back until almost Labor Day. It was pretty cool, actually.

[Burma Jones]

9. Several.....

Camp Glenkirk (DC Area Presbyterians)- a week every summer for three years

Montreat, NC, (real serious Evangelical Presbyterians) - a week for two years

The MD Center for the Arts - two to four weeks for five summers

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. I was at MD Center from

1970-75...
It was held in Emmitsburg then, at St Joseph's College...
When were you there?

[Burma Jones]

18. 1972 to 1976

I played trumpet- In Jazz Ensembles. I was in Orchestra only in 1972, as a Jr. High Musician....

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. I played trombone in the jazz ensemble one year

I wasn't very good...in fact, I was pretty clueless! Violin was, and still is, my main instrument. We were probably in the orchestra together.

You know, Chester Petranek passed away a couple of years ago...
He was great at getting kids interested and involved in the arts. :hi:

[Burma Jones]

33. I was shocked Chester lived as long as he did

It just goes to show that conductors do a lot of aerobic exercising....

He indeed was a good and great teacher.

10. Lots of camps, I loved getting away

I went to Blue Bird/CFG day camp in elementary school.

I went to Girl Scout camp for 2 weeks in between 5th and 6th grades. It was a lot of fun, too, running around in the woods like dirty little maniacs for two weeks while supervised by a bunch of college students.

Our school had a 6th grade camp program for a week, at a nice camp near the Silver Lake sand dunes on Lake Michigan. It was educational, allegedly. It was fun.

I went to 2 different music camps-twice to Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp (I got food poisoning there the second time) and once to the All State program at Interlochen (through UM).

The last camp I went to was the luxury camp in Colorado, between my junior and senior years of high school. It was Young Life's Frontier Ranch and it was awesome. We rode horses, went rapelling, walked on a "ropes course", and went mountain climbing. They had waiters and waitresses in the dining hall, and a hot-spring fed pool. We also went by bus through Yellowstone and Grand Teton parks on the way out, which was fun, too. I was into the evangelical thing at the time, so I enjoyed the sing-alongs and Bible study parts of it all.

11. i did

a church camp in upstate ny for 3 weeks.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

[Zuni]

14. does juvenile prison count?

[HEyHEY]

17. Well,Mom and Dad SAID it was camp - but it was summer school

[Pithlet]

20. 4th grade camp

It was tradition at the school I went to. It was one of the things to look forward to as you advanced through the grades. I can remember being the envious 3rd grader watching them pull out on the bus. It was during the school year, so we got to miss some school days. My 4th grade teacher was the one who started it. It was a lot of fun; I remember it like it was yesterday. I wonder if they still do that?

[hickman1937]

21. Majorette camp in Indiana.

1 loooong week, a long time ago.

[GreenPartyVoter]

22. Did girl scout, church, and cheer camp at different times in my life. I'm

going to cheer camp this summer with my girls.

[Debi]

26. Are we related?

[GreenPartyVoter]

30. Well, I think we must be. :^)

[Debi]

23. Campfire came and church camp and cheerleading camp

Each were one week camps.

Kinda bummed on the church camp thing cuz it was always so much fun and now my son (who is the age that I was when I went to camp) has no desire to go. :cry:

[Huckebein the Raven]

28. Day camp during the summer

usually went home about 2 pm or 3 pm.

Now during 6th grade, my grade did go to an actual camp for a day or 2. Think of it as a sort of retreat.

:shrug:

[Eurobabe]

31. Camp Timberlane (girl scouts) in OH, Marmon Valley Horse Farm

and Camp Ce-Da-Ca near Albany, NY, and a stint at Lutheran Camp on one of the small lakes near Lake George Camp was AWESOME.

A couple of these are actually still functioning 30 yrs. later.

[Rockholm]

35. Camp St Christopher in SC and Camp Honanwah

The second was boy scout camp.
Every year, those two camps. Sigh.

[eyesroll]

38. Lessee--

Day camp during most of elementary school -- park district, then one sponsored by my synagogue.

Jewish camp, overnight for 3-4 weeks or so, before 6th grade.

After that I began attending Banner Day Cult Camp, as a "tween" and then as a counselor in training, finally as a junior counselor.

I also attended a two-week arts camp/school (I was in their creative-writing track), summer before my senior year in high school.
