Church Camp
My favorite place in the whole world to go to is Bluff Springs Campgrounds in McDavid, Florida.

Each cabin and dorm are required to be in the talent show, and the talent can be whatever they choose it to be. Most of the night consists endless fits of laugher until we cannot breathe and tears are running down our faces, and the mouth dropping hidden talents from unknown
