We never got to go either, there was too much work to do on the farm during the summer and we all pitched in to help, but I remember reading stories about it. It always sounded like so much fun!

I went to summer camp in 1995 and 1996. 1995 was great. 1996 not so much. I will blog about it one of these days.

Re: CCT
I'm like you. I spent a lot of time alone in a wooded area when I was young. Now there are houses there, lots of them all close together.

I was like Pat. There was always something to do, living on a farm and close to beaches. Christmas books to read in the heat of the day and chores to be completed. When we went on holiday we went as a Family, we pulled a van behind the car often visiting distant relatives.

I would not know where to go, once one could have made off in any direction.

Re: Summer camp for me was from home, hikes in the woods, swimming
Yes, that would have been the best ever...to live in a place like that. For me, camp was getting away from the city. I loved it.

Summer camp for me was from home, hikes in the woods, swimming
in Mill Creek, in the deep spot just below the old spillway, all the outdoors you could imagine. I don't think kids from our little village went to summer camp, because where we lived was already way out there.

Good morning
Summer camp is the best when you're a kid.
