I'm going this year for the first time, and I'm super exited! Although my friends won't be there, I'm confident that I'll make new ones!

[@lilyjmerrick]

I think the main thing I want to do when I get to camp this summer is spend as much time in the water as I can and not avoid it because I'm overthinking about needing to wash my hair after or can't be bothered to change for the third time that day 😅

[@lilyjmerrick]

to be fair I feel like I did wash my hair daily lol, french plaits are your best friend honestly!! x

I'm going to my first summer camp as a counselor (I'm not with Camp America as I am American; it's a special-needs summer camp) and I'm so excited! Can't wait to use my experience to help kids (I myself have disabilities and I've been working with disabled kids for 1 and a half years).

[@lilyjmerrick]

Oh wow that's incredible! I'm so excited for you, you'll have such a great time I'm sure :))! x

[@Jgracelees]

It’s so good

[@lilyjmerrick]

[@theotheobald9666]

You have to get in the lake on the first day! Otherwise the moment you put it off one you've made that an acceptable outcome.

[@lilyjmerrick]

Thank you Theo, you're so wise, so very wise x

Find wow butter It is soybean turn into peanut butter substitution. I am allergic to peanut butter it taste just like peanut butter but is peanut free. It has to be kept in the fridge when opened I. It is made in Canada 🇨🇦 and you can find it I Walmart and target in the USA. It comes in smooth and crunchy

[@willowturner1183]

Are you allowed to take pictures with your cabinet, like Polaroid or disposable cameras? I know that phones is a no but feel like it would be nice to capture memories

[@lilyjmerrick]

At my camp I know that the kids had digital cameras however I do not believe that camps can allow you to have your camera in the cabins for obvious safe guarding issues. That doesn't mean that you can't take one, but you would only really be able to use it on your off-time and when travelling, (camps usually have a photographer anyway who takes tonnes of pics so you should be fine) x

[@joshwiltshire9022]

I want the wawa 😂

[@lilyjmerrick]

We know 😭

[@gracefullam8557]

[@lilyjmerrick]
