When I was 10 years old I went to a Christian Summer Camp. The last night that we were there, all of the staff and counselors gave us soft foam dodgeballs and let us throw the balls at them while they tried to dodge. After all the balls were thrown, they shamed everyone who threw a ball and made all the little kids cry and said that we were doing the same thing as the people who killed Jesus when he was on the cross.

Band camp for us wasn't a real camp, it was just 12 hours a day for two weeks of rehearsals for competition season. There wasn't any overnight aspect, it was just at the high school, so we'd all go home every night. The only exciting part was when students would occasionally faint from being out in the blazing August sun for two long with limited access to water. It was always there, but we could only get water during designated water breaks that were only like 30 seconds long. Lunch breaks were pretty long though and we got to be inside for them, so there was definitely time for classic teenage horniness that I didn't experience at all because I was a sheltered religious kid trying to pretend not to be a lesbian

At 13 and 14 years old, I went to a Type 1 Diabetes specific camp for kids/teens here in Ontario, and it was honestly the best time. Cabins were separated by age groups and gender, and we had brother/sister cabins. My cabin and brother cabin took a bus to Algonquin Park to canoe for three days and stop at random spots to camp. There really weren't any opportunities for "this one time, at band camp"-type situations the whole 2 weeks because there were medical professionals and volunteers everywhere, and nurses would come into the cabins in the middle of the night to test everyone's blood sugar, shining their bright-ass headlamps into your face to tell you "your blood sugar is going low, drink a juice box, I'll be back in 20 minutes to make sure you're not dead"

@Interdacted It is. They’re okay in terms of fun activities, but all the other kids have families with big money and some of them will act like snobs. So far you *will* for to a church for that loud music and activities for those in the front row. You need to drink two cups of water if you want lemonade or something else other than water(you will be full so you have no chance of tasting lemonade your entire time there). The food is good in terms of quality, but I would say to have your mouth shut tight like a clam unless spoken to because the counselors and faculty will judge you if you say anything they don’t like. Don’t trust your cabin mates because they will give you the side eye like you said something political.

[@NapkinShield]

When I went to summer camp the counselors there told us a story to try to keep us fron wandering around in the woods unsupervised. They said a murderous man died in these woods many years ago, and his ghost still haunts the woods. That if you see a pair of red eyes staring at you in the dark, that he's watching you. That any animal, any person, with red eyes could be him. Kinda smart as a story since at that time cameras had that red-eye issue very often.

I was that kid who wasn’t built for summer camp. I have POTs and it wasn’t diagnosed until recently so I would literally just pass out after repeatedly telling the counselor I didn’t feel well and then still making me do whatever the activity was. I didn’t have a lot of friends and everyone called me the fainting kid. Thankfully my parents didn’t make me go back

I never had camp (the closest thing was probably band camp, but we went home every day and was basically just 9-hour marching band practice), but I did go to this daycare that was basically an old couple's house who would take care of kids from toddlers to highschoolers and we would hang out with each other and go in the pool during summer. I also went to this daycare almost every day from when I was 2 years old to 5th grade, so less of a camp and more of, well, daycare. I also really wanted to go to space camp and real summer camp because I really liked going outside in the woods

i went to christian summer camp for a few years, and holy shit these kids AND the adults are ruthless. one year, my boobs grew in at camp and i was ruthlessly made fun of and sexually harassed by both kids and adults (including my wntire cabin of girls and adult women) for literally just having a little bit of fat on my chest. the last year i ever went, all was well and id even made friends and had a big gay crush on one of the counselors (making me realize i was queer) until one of the girls cabins pranked one of the boys cabins by making fake bloody pads and sticking them all over their cabin. the boys retaliated by throwing all of their belongings on the roof, hanging them in trees, and just stealing a lot of it. i was unfortunately in one of those cabins though uninvolved in the prank. the leaders of thw camp and our church groups decided to "prank" US by telling us all we had fucked up MAJOR, and were to pack up and leave immediately for inappropriate behavior, sexual harassment, and theft. they screamed at us for hours, made us all cry, and literally made like 300 kids pack up and get on the busses to leave- hundreds of terrified kids sobbing and having panic attacks because of the abusive tactics they used to punish ALL of us because of like 2 dozen kids behavior. just for them to basically april fools us, all laugh at us and tell us it was a joke and make fun of us for believing them (yknow, the adults who we were under the care of and told to trust and listen to). it backfired HARD, dozens of kids were traumatized and needed their parents to drive hours into the woods to pick them up (including me, it was super traumatizing and the last year i went because of this), a couple of the churches got sued and i think the camp itself did, too. it was just ruthless and vile to pull shit like that on a bunch of 10-12 year olds.

[@booziiokto]

@@TheInfintyithGoofball rhey were legally our caretakers while at camp, parents trusted these people to take care of us. it was hardly just a trick; it was child endangerment, emotional abuse resulting in long term trauma (for some), inadherence to contracts signed by parents, and a few other things. it was adults who were legally responsible for us, deliberately and viciously putting many children into danger and severe emotional distress. there were a ton of parents that had to drive hours to pick their kids up because the group leaders refused to take anyone home (even though they were legally required to). there was a lot of financial and emotional damage for many, and a lot of these families were poor and spent months of income just to send their child to camp, and had to spend even more to guarantee the safety of their child. a lot of people lost trust in their churches and left, which for some religious people can be pretty damning. im not christian anymore but looking back, the church is often wildly irresponsible with the children who attend and i too would be terrified if people i thought i trusted took my children halfway across the state only to intentionally traumatize them and refuse to get them home; and infuriated at those people and for having to waste hundreds of dollars just to ensure my kid was safe.

[@artemisiakyrell7727]

Here's an Aussie camp story: My friend dragged me to a summer camp where on the last day we went to a theme park (WetN'Wild of course) however most children at the camp did not make it to the end. Me & my friend were very close to calling it quits ourselves. You see, Australia is hot & we were in the middle of another global warming-powered heat wave & the bunks did not have fans or air conditioning. And for some reason all of the older kids were stuck in bunk-style rooms with 16 other campers while the little kids were in 4-man rooms. In any case all we had was a window with literally no breeze ever coming through, so naturally everyone barely slept the entire week. My friend's brother also came with us & he basically got gassed in the boys bunk as one kid demanded that one of the two windows stay shut because of bugs & another kicking up a fuss if they used bug spray as he didn't like the smell. As a result to appease the kid afraid of bugs the anti-bug spray kid would spray an entire bottle of Lynx Africa in the bunk. Since the deodorant had nowhere to go as one of the windows was closed the entire bunk reeked & the fumes made him so sick he skipped dinner & threw up before being sent to the nurse. Also the activities & food in that place also really sucked, as did the trip to the theme park as everyone was too tired & miserable to really enjoy it.

I went to a dare summer camp and my cabin was so insane and an entire war pretty much happened in 4 1/2 days the first thing was a kid had a breakdown and tried to fight everyone (including me) in our cabin. He also threatened to oof himself and bash another kids head into a bed frame. Then my friend got hit in the head with a broomstick by another kid because that other kid hated my friend. Someone then sprayed sunscreen in another kids eyes and almost blinded him. One kid took off his towel and everyone saw his you know what. Finally one of my counselors was cousins with another cabin’s counselor and he pranked her and hit her in the face with whipped cream and it actually hurt her and she chased her all through the camp. Definitely recommend.
