Camp Activities, Graded

[rodanside]

Camp. For so many of us, the word brings up all sorts of associations. Maybe you had a great time. Maybe you had a shitty time. Maybe you’re still in it and you’re in some sort of *weird* state of arrested development. In any case, camp wasn’t uniformly one way or another in my experience: Certain aspects and activities were worth every minute I

I had a great time reading this. I've never played Ga-ga or driven golf carts at camp, but I've certainly done the rest. The ironic thing, though, is that for me archery was an at-home activity, not a camp activity. I did everything except the bow and arrow in Girl Scouts -- at home I had my own bow and, with my father supervising, practiced with a HUGE block of foam on which he had painted a large red bullseye. I rather miss it, actually.

You've never done the two highest-graded things on my list? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN???

*grins* Girl Scout camp, in North Carolina. Camp Occoneechee, to be exact. :)

I love the pictures you made! They are just so darn artistic!!

: )

If you want to know the truth, I drew them like a 5-year-old to mask the fact that I actually draw like a 7-year-old.

lol

You can draw better than that??

I am jealous.

I also &hearts your drawings :)

and ga-ga sucks sucks. soo many rules. I prefer dodgeball where I can mindlessly hurt people.
The ropes course is where it's at. I loved playing on the ropes.

I also love the faces you make in the pics :P

Ga-Ga? What the balls? You made that up.

[rodanside]

YOUR MOM made that up!

No really, it's a summer camp cornerstone. Maybe they only play it in California or something?

this is wonderful! makes me miss summer camp, even though i never did several of those things because my camps were lame. you are so clever/creative!!!

[rodanside]

I miss summer camp too. Dearly. Despite some of the crappy grades I gave out, I wanted this to be an homage to it more than anything else.

haha nice pictures. I've never played ga-ga before. Arts and crafts are more my thing. :3

[rodanside]
