I used to dread the idea of summer camps being introduced in Britain when I was a kid. Going on a school trip to Wales and having to do rock climbing and canoeing was bad enough.

I went to a lot of church camps ("girls' camp"), which were fun when I was younger & increasingly miserable the more worldly my peers grew. When I turned 16 I told my mom I didn't want to go anymore, and I was surprised to find she was ok with it. I guess she had been bullied at girls' camp too. ;_;

This camp is the highlight of my youngest brother's year, I think it has the best name ever:

They also do a ski camp in the winter he goes to sometimes.
