For me, it was a blind camp in Lexington, Kentucky, about an hour or so south of where I live. My parents had thought I'd like it bc it was a Lions Club camp and I I'd been to another one before and loved it. Nope, nope, nope, and NOPE! Here's why:
1) the "counselors" were all volunteers who didn't know shit about running a camp
2) the kids were mean, mean, mean! They bullied me relentlessly for being a Backstreet Boys fan, they would bash them and all my favorite artists, and when I confronted one of the staff, all she said was "PeOpLe HaVe DiFfErEnT tAsTeS iN mUsIc". I mean, no shit, Sherlock, but did they have to jump down my throat about it???
3) they had a talent contest near the end of the session, and I entered with a cover of I Want It That Way. I was doing everything - singing, bopping to the music, making those hand gestures that singers often make... and then there was the director's granddaughter singing Sixteen Going on Seventeen. Guess who won - me with that amazing performance or her with her monotonous vocals and brick-solid stance?
4) Did I mention the kids were mean?
