My Happy Place

Friends, Prank Wars and Neverending Fun

Summertime is always the best of what might be. - Charles Bowden

Summer Camp is a getaway and dream in the distance unlike any other. With all the amazing tight friendships and endless memories it truly is the highlight of my year. These memories and friendships carry on way past summer for many years.

It feels as if you have known your friends for five years instead of five weeks! Every year at the beginning of June, I pack my bags and head off to summer camp for the best few weeks of my life. I arrive to find returning counselors who I’ve known for years, the new counselors who are fresh out of high school and of course, my camp friends who I’ve been talking to every living and breathing moment for the past few days about coming back to camp.

It’s so amazing to return to my camp celebrity status. While there are endless moments of fun the best part of camp are the pranks. Being British at camp has its perks as most of the staff are British. So on the fourth of July walking out the bunk to see the camp decorated with UK flags in the office and the American flag replaced with the British flag was truly amazing.

All the Americans have their jaws dropped so low that you could fit a size 10 Nike shoe in there.
