particular schooling as a summer camp. While there are endless options one could compare schooling too, a summer camp accurately portrays this. A summer camp contains many similarities to a school, for example, there is a “curriculum” for the camp, the campers learn informally and formally, and the socialization amongst them is related to a school environment. We will further examine the specifics as to how schooling is like a summer camp. Similar…

Callie Schmidt Lost In Death Valley By:Callie Schmidt I was walking into the abandoned camper, smothered in sweat, and mouth dry to the bone. And the smell of burning rubber as I walked into the abandoned camper. I thought in my head I need to keep moving no matter what happens this is a life or death situation. When I walked in the door of the camper the place was a mess wood planks tore up with nails sticking out, and dusty furniture. I walked in faster and found myself in front of…

weeks this summer, I lived in the woods of New Hampshire as a Counselor In Training at Camp Carefree. Camp Carefree is for children with type one diabetes (T1D), and I myself had attended as a camper. Despite diabetes being one of the worst things in my life, camp had always been one of the best. My camper years had been transformative, but they did not change my life in the same way my CIT year did. This is my story of resilience, redemption, and an unlikely family. I am used to carrying on…

generation of leaders. I clearly remember loving my new potential to be a role model in the lives of campers and make their summers unforgettable. The only position I can see myself in this coming is one in which I can share my passion for being a counselor with the campers I had when I was a CIT (and then again my first year on staff!). Over the past two summers I've encountered a variety of camper situations which I am well equipped to handle. My experiences make me well suited to train future…

Every camper week is different however each…

bright and sunny day , My cousins and I were bored and we needed something fun. So Kynser and Ross were walking to their camper and they got out water balloon and bopper balloons , they started to fill them up with water. Jaylen and I were going to walk to our grandpa and grandma’s camper to ask for the gator keys , but they were laying out on the table in front of the camper so we grab them. Afterwards we got into the gator and started it and went off with it. We all got 3 buckets full of water…

that I automatically think of is a time last summer when I could not find one of my campers. The camp that I work at has two counselors in a cabin with eight to twelve kids in the cabin. The campers are at our camp for one week, arriving Sunday evening and leaving Friday morning. On Wednesday morning of the third, fourth, and fifth grade camp, we lined up for breakfast after our daily staff meeting. I had left my campers with my co-counselor for the week in the cabin. I began counting heads, and…

One of my close friends, though animated and joyful on the outside, experiences severe anxiety and depression. One Friday afternoon, while accompanying me on my regular trip to the gym, I observed that he was acting slightly out of character. He seemed preoccupied and distracted by an internal conflict. I asked him what was wrong, and he opened up to me. By simply asking what was wrong, I learned that in the past summer he abstained from eating for a week because he had been separated from…
