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?

ive only been to one summer camp and it was jrotc bootcamp and it was HELL ! :D this was back in 2012? after freshman year in high school
had my first panic attack there during, i forgot what you call them. you run around in a lap through obstacles. i was in a giant cement cylinder and had a total breakdown. night time was hell bc u had to speed bath in these tiny ass showers and bunk beds had to stay neat in the morning they would CHECK so i didnt even go under the blankets LMAO. & yes it was just like a very strict military bootcamp cadet kelly mfn levels. i only went cuz i had nothing better to do lol and i was in jrotc and i was chosen to go.

but the other cadets there were cool, meet a lot of different interesting ppl who had STORIES TO TELL also met someone else who liked visual kei (i do not but i liked jrock so whatevs) i have a lot of strange stories kept in my memories from the shit these kids said...............

the museum was great though !

I only went to two Georgia 4H camps for a week and I enjoyed the one near Rock Eagle, but I didn't like the one on Jekyll Island. I never went to an entire summer long summer camp. I might kick my a couple of my kids to one when I have them to see if they like it but only for two weeks unless they like it then I'll extend it.
