I had two summer camp experiences - one week at a sleepaway when I was 6 and one summer at a daycamp at 10. The daycamp was horrible - an NYC rec program type thing where we actually ended up going to the movies everyday because the counselors didn't want to do anything with us. So I had to beg for money from my evil stepmother every morning when she dropped me off.

The sleepaway was wonderful - I remember swimming in the lake, riding horses. I was an inner city kid from NYC - you can imagine how liberating that was....
