So I have no idea why the Quality is only up to 480P I'll try to have it fixed for next weeks video. Also I do want to point out I haven't been to the camp since 2007 was my last year. So I have no idea if Nail and Polish still work there or if they got better or worse. I do know though that the Camp is still Active and still Expensive AF. So for the sake of Future kids going there and parents who pay out the ass that they got better about the staff over the years.

The more you describe this camp the more I think of Camp Campbell. If you haven't seen Camp Camp. Its pretty much a Camp for everything.

[@Ewaszczypior1]

I didn't go to an art camp because I didn't get into art until I was much older. Instead, I went to a dancing camp twice and this is what I did as a 5-9 year old. It was the Waltz and Cha-cha and these kind of dances where you had a partner and I was lucky enough to be a girl that HAD a partner that ALSO went to these camps. But it wasn't really so great. Actually, take that back, it was shitty and the councillors really hated me. The first time I went there I was 7. It was a 2 weeks camp and we were allowed to have a phone, but at the time I still didn't own one. I still wasn't homesick and stuff, mainly because I did travel away from home before for similar amounts of time. And here enter my roommates. Two twelve year olds and three thirteen year olds. Yup. They put me, a 7 year old, someone who JUST finished their first year in school. With secondary school people. That are almost twice my age. They just didn't really care and never chose to move me and I was really bullied by these girls. And I mean, they would isolate me, take my stuff as I was "too young for them", lock me inside or outside of the bathroom, belittle me, make me go to the bathroom at midnight because I wasn't worth going at earlier hours. And the councillors could easily move me but... they didn't. The bathroom thing was solved by randomly picking the order of who goes when to the bathroom from a HAT. And not by, I don't know, ALLOWING THE SEVEN YEAR OLD TO GO BEFORE A THIRTEEN YEAR OLD. BECAUSE THEY'RE YOUNGER? It was shit. Absolute shit. My dancing partner never really cared about me so I had nobody to talk to. I was the weirdo kid at the time and the living conditions I had just... boosted people's opinion about me, that I was the weird kid you don't talk to. i hated that camp. Yet... the next year my very good friend that also did dancing but didn't have a partner wanted to go to the camp and asked me if I wanted to return. We'd be in the same room, and nothing like last year would happen. So, after convincing my mom and spending all my first communion money, I returned. And it was. The worst decision I could've made. So me and my friend (let's call her Duck, not sure why) landed in the same room and even had a spare bed, yay. We also had the BEST room spot in the entire complex. There were 3 floors in total, and because the first two floors were filled, we got put on the top floor. And WHY was it the best spot? Well. In a camp of ~100 kids. On the top floor there were only 5. Me, Duck, my dancing partner, Honey and the Weirdo which were all people I liked spending time with, these were all my friends. So where did it go wrong? The councillors. It all started pretty soon. They saw me as the weakling, someone who was just bat at dancing, even though I always won awards. They just... disliked me. It was a couple, a man and a woman that were not only dancing partners but also married. And it was mainly them. So I had no support when it came to being belittled by them. Once they randomly said that we are no longer allowed to put our hand on the partner's shoulder, and we have to grab just below it. My force of habit made them furious and in punishment I had to do 240 squats in total. In the dancing high heels. An 8 year old. I'd know every time they talked about me. It was obvious, the almost disgusted stares. They later on put me and my partner on "special training", which was not the good kind. It was the kind you got if you were bad, and all the other members of our dance group got to advance further. It was so, SO disheartening to know that I wasn't good enough. But I soon found out, they weren't treating just me like that, or that they weren't picking just on one person. And by far, this is the worst thing that happened at the camp, and it wasn't happening to me. One day me and Duck were going downstairs for some reason but we were interrupted by crying. We went on to see what happened and noticed that there was this girl, a year older than us sitting on the ground in the corridor with all her things thrown around the floor. Obviously, we asked her what happened and she said that she got in a fight with her roommates and they just picked all her clothes and threw her outside. We went to the councillor (btw, the councillors were the regular dance instructors so we knew them for years at this point) and we asked her to do something and... she didn't care. In the end me and Duck asked if she Kickout wants to stay with us in our room as we had a spare bed, and she agreed. We carried her stuff ourself as the councillors didn't want to get mixed up in this as it's "childish". Me, Duck and Kickout became pretty good friends during the rest of the camp, and my partner, Honey and Weirdo kept us pretty entertained and those stories are pretty funny but... After this, I dropped dancing and never looked back. It made me hate classical dancing, and I am still going through the disgust I got for these people. In these stories, I am either 7 or 8. Other kids are around that age too. But really... who would treat them like that?

[@jadedwolvesart]

I went to a camp when I was about 8 years old for a week. I nearly drowned twice because a kid kept pushing me under the water. I got really bad sunburn on my face. I kept wandering away from me "cabin" because I was bored. And my group left me behind when the went to shoot bb guns at milk cartons. I never went back.

[@AdriScribbles]

"oh hey, that art in the thumbnail looks familia-OH MY GA IT'S THE SKETCH!!" Aw, I wish I recorded my sketching process now, that would've come in handy ^^" Getting to the topic... Ya know, my family never could afford camps where you paid to go, it was always VBS... Oiii... I mean, it was themed every year so it was fun(?)... I think mainly you memorized bible verses, sang and danced to songs like a chapel service, and did some crafts related to the bible story/ lesson of the day... all I remember though is that one time I was able to tell the entirety of the story of Esther to the group and won the collectable pin set (all the kids only got one, I got one of each). It was in that moment I felt accomplished, ha ha... It always ended with kids coming to the front to accept Jesus as their savior so I "got saved" like... five times one of those summers... Ah, memories...

[@jaejae1528]

AdriScribbles I had to go to VBS a whole bunch too and I remember some if the weird themes like a chef one, a Wild West one, and a surfing one. It was a lot of just learning songs and doing activities like making the bread that Moses and them ate during that time. It’s pretty weird thinking back on it now lol, it was such a long time ago

[@AdriScribbles]

@@jaejae1528 wow! Y'all actually baked food? We were never allowed in the kitchen... It was just snacks and juice ^^" I remember a Wild West one that my cousin was in and I kept telling people he was my cousin and not the character he was portraying, which the staff were a little disappointed about >

[@jaejae1528]

AdriScribbles from what I remember it wasn't even a kitchen, just a room with two ovens and some tables lol, they didn't let us near the ovens of course but we did this activity explaining how they didn't use yeast back then so the bread was flat and I thought it was fun at the time.The only thing I remember of the Wild West one was a song about a tumbleweed that I'd always listen to since they put all the songs on a cd for the parents to buy

[@drawn_by_starla9462]

I had something similar to that happen to me when I was in Girl Scouts. It was terrible because they would promise all this stuff like that we would get to go camping, or we would get to go to the water park or do stuff but we NEVER did any of it. Not once. We never learned any skills or did any of the stuff that we signed up for. Pretty much all of the meetings were us either talking about cookie sales or just dicking around. We were paying money too. My mom payed $2 per meeting and I remember slaving away and working REALLY hard to sell cookies but most of the time we wouldn’t even get rewarded for it. The leaders always just took the money and never used any of it for the actual program. (so it was pretty much child labor) and when we did get rewarded, they had this corrupt system where they rewarded girls based on how long they stayed rather than boxes sold. So it didn’t matter if you sold a million boxes and worked your ass off, the only thing that would matter is the time spent. So the girls who were getting showered with prizes were the same ones who were playing on their moms phone the whole time or their mom would take them up to McDonald’s and that would count towards time spent. It was a miserable experience because we never did ANYTHING. I’m not kidding. We spent entire days from morning to night, shivering in the bitter cold and selling cookies outside of Walmart and that’s literally all we did.

[@charleyvs2630]

Yes same! Though my troop was less corrupt we never did anything in the meetings. I remember the troop leaders daughter, let's call Greasy, clearly did not want to be there. Ever. She would run off into the woods while we were walking around selling cookies, she'd ignore me and the other girls in the troop, get into screaming matches with her dad and brother during meetings, and the reason I nicknamed her greasy is because she never washed her hair, or brushed it. She hand long wavy blonde hair and it was a rats nest and was oily enough to polish furniture. The worst of the whole experience was any trips because guess what? No tech, at all. This was from around 2008 to 2016 so this was a big deal in the troop. We were stuck with just each other, and we weren't really friends so it was just a mess overall.

[@drawn_by_starla9462]

Cimcie the VA Lol, that sounds awful. All the girls in my troop were nice to me but we were never friends. It was all pretty much fake friendliness because I would see some of the other Girl Scouts at school and we NEVER talked to each other outside of meetings. There was one girl in my group who was similar to the person that you were describing. She was the daughter of the troop leader and she fought, wined about stuff all the time and it was really uncomfortable because the leader would have to yell at her and shut her down in the middle of the meeting

[@yourlocalgrubdog3345]

Oh gosh I had a similar experience. Ours was free (lived in a small poor town; any sort of entry fee would make the troop be just 5 members). Most of our councilors were quite nice too. But the main woman, the one who ran the show, was AWFUL. She had us sell tons and tons of cookies at large prices, and when we finally hit our money goal? She scooped it all up, ran out of town, and used it to buy a new house. (In conjunction with her savings; if only we could raise enough to buy an entire house heh) Everyone was LIVID. Sadly as she was also the main financial suppler for the troop our Girl Scouts ended up dissolving.

[@midgetwaffles8635]

I had a pretty similar experience as well... Actually.. don't even remember.. ANYTHING I did in girl scouts. Lol, other than this one time we spent the night at a church, or a few field trips my family couldn't afford. It was SO boring, and even the girls I knew at school who went there wouldn't talk to me at all. Obviously, the staff couldn't give less of a shit if.. *anyone* was being ignored or felt left out, so the only thing that I ever remember about girl scouts was the dreadful and grey feeling of wanting nothing more than to go home. I think the day I dropped out was when I was at the ceremony where all of the girl scouts got to move up a rank.. well, except me apparently. ._. I don't know why they told me I had to wait until next year to move up a rank. Maybe it was because I didn't have enough badges? Or not enough girl scout cookie funds..? Heh.. ether way, it was pretty embarrassing. What a bunch of lovely Thursday nights wasted, am I right? lmao

[@lilahb.8698]

Midget Waffles It’s based on grade, and most ‘ranks’ are like 1st and 2nd, and then 3rd and 4th, so the others might’ve been older than you. Or they might’ve screwed you over if you were with them before. Either way, sorry to hear how bad ya’lls experiences are! I have a good troop, thank goodness. In my troop it’s based on how many hours you work booths, and then you get ‘payed’ in the booth cookie sales/hour average of that week, so that people aren’t stuck at slow booths and getting less. And you get half of the money you earn for your personal reserve, and half to the troop. The troop also often pays for half of an activity too. This past summer I got to go on a $1500-2000 dollar trip to Hawaii. But this isn’t normal-you have to have an exceptional troop, and even then we bend the rules a lot to make the system of how we distribute money fair. And the official GS camp in my area sucked. Once they had a collective punishment because there was drama (which half of us weren’t even involved in!) in which we drew a Pictor someone we loved, passed it to our left, and then ripped the picture we now had in half. And so and so on until we got ours back, had a lecture on bullying, and cried. A bit traumatic. It’s been shut down now, although supposedly we have a new camp that’s been gifted to us that we’ll be able to go to in a few years. It sucks because you either get a good troop or you don’t. The leader who skipped town probably had you sell the cookies for extra money to get extra money...it’s all sick, honestly.

[@cryptidcorvid]

Oh god, my school had a *compulsory* camp in 11th grade, where it was supposed to bring us together as a group and teach us "life skills" (things that we'd been taught in PDHPE since about 7th grade mind you). It was ridiculously bad. Especially the food. Like I get that you can't cook grand meals for ~80 kids, but there was eggshells in the scrambled eggs, things weren't cooked right, people were literally taking the little packets of butter and jam and eating them and nothing else (thankfully, most people brought their own junk food, so they at least ate something). The activities themselves weren't *bad*, but they were all things like rock climbing. giant swing, etc, and for someone like me, who has a legitimate phobia of falling, I was stuck just sitting there, doing nothing most of the time, because I couldn't do the activities. Needless to say, we were all very glad that it was only a three day trip.

[@maxcrow890]

So I was raised as a Lutheran and I went to the same private Lutheran school from pre-school to eigth grade. This school was small, only about 300 kids in total with each grade being one class. Every grade/class had about 20 kids and each kid's tuition was about $20,000 a year. Not including field trips, lunches, AR parties and events. Now the AR parties were supposed to be a thing were you read books and took quizes on them. Each book was worth a certain amount of point and your teacher would set your goal. Even if you paid for the trip, if your goal wasn't met you wouldn't go. And they didn't like to give out refunds. So I was a scholarship kid. My Dad had gone to the school when it first opened and his mom had helped out there. She gave that school at least a hundred thousand dollars over the years not counting tuition. How? Well there was always something that needed to be fixed or added and a fundraiser every year. So my family threw money at this school. Even though we couldn't pay our tuition we did what we could. Now these AR parties costed anywhere from $80-$180 on average. And there were many times I didn't go because I couldn't afford to. One year the AR party was supposed to be a trip to Disney. Keep in mind I was in third grade and didn't want to be left out. My family spent $280 for this party, and on the day we were meant to leave a tropical storm hit hard and it was canceled. We never got a refund. At the end of fifth grade my grandma died and she was our only source of income. Our house was in forclosure and the bank said they didn't know what they were doing. We couldn't put anything down for my tuition and they still let me go to the school. My aunt later paid all we owed for my three years of middle school. This school had a severe bullying problem. I'll never recover from what was said not only by the students but by the teachers and parents. I was treated like scum and looked down on. Told I'd never amount to anything and I'd be a drunken addict like some of my family. They said this behind closed doors when no one was around. It still hurts. In the middle of fourth grade I was forced to stay over at a girls house, and that girl would try to sexually assault me and beat me up from then on. In middle school I fought back. She assaulted my best friend in front of me and only when she brought it up in class did we talk about it. The school tried to hide it and no disciplinary action was taken. The girl dropped her case. My family threw money at that school for me to be bullied and harassed. And when I was injured and unable to walk it got worse. I spent the last four months of eigth grade in a wheelchair. I was pushed into walls, down hills, into poles. People threw me out of the wheelchair, yanked it so I'd tip over, stole it when I got up to use the bathroom. It was hell. I goy the worst grades in my life and was called a failure. Now I have daily panic attacks thinking about the grades on my record. I'll never recover from that place. They told me my drawing, writing and singing was pointless. They ruined my dreams. They scarred me for life and I struggle with depression and anxiety. I was told that I had these conditions when I was eight years old. They ruined me. I was a happy kid back then. Now my family tells me I'm a cynic. That they miss the happy little girl I used to be. I'll never be that ignorant little girl faking a laigh and a smile again.

[@Br44n5m]

The camp stories remind me of the one day we had at a local camp when I was in 4th grade that showed what you'd do over the week long trip in 6th grade. It was a big thing every year, $100 to send you're kid to a big outdoorsy camp with all their classmates and live like pioneers in a way. Lots of fun! When my class went in 4th grade for the day long trial we added a few slices into the big canoe campers were carving to use later in the year, we fished for metal salmon with a magnetic pole, we build fire pits, and we went hunting for gold in the river. On the good side we had a lot of fun in my group claim jumping (stealing from another groups gold area) and we saw the head honcho of camp get locked in the time out cage as our bus drove away (they were acting and being dorks for the kids) On the bad side when we were fishing I sorta wigged out. They said before anyone started that if you caught a metal fish you had to reel it in and you couldn't throw it back into the water cause it could get damaged. When my turn came I caught the fish and then something in my brain just flipped and I freaked out, something inside told me "that's a real salmon and you're hurting it with the fishing hook, let it go right fucking now you evil child!" And I tried I violently shook that rod and tried to free the fish until the adults took away my pole a second too late and had to get the metal fish out of a bush in the water. They thought I was playing a prank or something, the worker muttered "there's always one in every bunch..." To this day I don't know what that was about, I never told a teacher or anything but it still kinda freaks me out Now skip forward to the trip in 6th grade My family wasn't the best off money wise, it was a shitty neighborhood so pretty much all of us were in that boat if I had to guess, but my mom managed to get the $100 to send me off to camp. I'd been packed for the camp since I got back from the trial day, I was fucking PUMPED for this camp trip! I should preface this by saying I was never a good student, I ran around getting in trouble almost daily and was in the detention closet during class often, so excuse my teachers behavior to some extent. I brought in the check maybe the day before we left or something, it was probably a Friday and we would leave the following Monday. My teacher said that she needed me to show her I could behave that day or else I wouldn't be allowed to go because she would have no trouble makers at camp. And I tried my best. If I recall correctly, which I may not be cause it's been a good many years, the idea that I might not be able to go broke my heart. She hadn't even said I couldn't at all she just said it was a possibility. We were gathered around on the carpet after that for story time or something. I sat down with everyone else, I tried to behave, but I broke down and curled into a little ball so nobody could see me crying. It wasn't unusual for me to curl up when upset but it still attracted attention. Classmates crowded around me trying to peek in to see what I was doing while the teacher tried to get me to sit normal. "You need to sit criss-cross right now" "This isn't good girl behavior, we just talked about having to behave and you're not showing me that you can" "If you don't stop right now then you can't go on the trip" But I didn't want my classmates to see my crying and covered in snot so I couldn't stop being a little ball on the floor. And so I couldn't go on the trip. Which made matters even worse. I spent the day in the detention closet and the week of camp at a cousins house dissecting owl balls since that was the only camp activity they could replicate. That was my only camp experience and I wish it had been better but I enjoy being able to share it with anyone willing to read all this at least!

[@dangerousdoodle2410]

I attended an art class (I was like 6 or 7) with my 'friend'. (She was an emotionally-manipulative prick). Now, a bit of context, my friend was really good at (for a seven year old) copying down something very similiar to a reference photo. I was really, really not. And I used paint with no sketches underneath (the teacher didn't bother to correct me). The teacher would always compliment my 'friend' and I don't think she ever complimented me once. She'd always say that I was doing it wrong but never told me what I was doing wrong, she always just said to be more like my friend. When I tried that, she literally threw away my drawing for copying my friends pencil strokes saying that I was stealing her art. I just can't understand how she expected me, a child, to understand her. It wasn't that fun and it's why I stopped doing art for a while, but thankfully I got the insparation back a year and a bit ago.

The Only difference I found Between our camps are the Fun shows. But... One day I went on A hike because I LOVED them back in the day... So We traveled to where we called "THE HAUNTED CABIN", Alright so I was walking the way back and I Tripped.... It was a very deep slope down, Instead of slipping DOWN I slipped to the SIDE, Causing me to slide straight through a Thorn bush and Fall down off of A Large Ledge that seemed like a cliff. ya.

I had a pretty good camp experience. When I was at sleep away camp, it was a foresty area. I would always try to find frogs and such, my counselors always had to tell me to not do it. One time when I was really homesick, I remember one of the male head counselors going to me when I was on my bed, and he gave me this HUUUGGGE toad. I was actually really happy about that. The counselors said I could have him for a day and that then I’d have to let him go after that. Me and the other kids in my cabin played around with him, he even peed but i didn’t mind, people said if he’d pee on you, you’d get warts. He would squeal like a puppy when we held him. In order to make sure that he wouldn’t escape, i used one of the narnia books from the camp libary to cover a bucket. We put a little water and vegetation and left air gaps, but not too much so he couldn’t jump and knock the book off. It was really nice, and cheered me up as a child

[@Wolvesbane39]

Though I didn't have terrible councilors, actually I had wonderful councilors who all had different nicknames like Scooby, Barbie, Duff, and Toucan. However I do have quite a story from my sleep away camp experience. The only way I got to go was through girl scouts, and we slept in cabins, fairly close to Big Bear in socal. Well first off when we finally got to camp and were doing our orientation I nearly peed my pants because I had just come off a 2 hour bus ride and really had to go. My camp choice was horse camp. So we'd have to feed, brush, tack and water the horses. I had just misplaced my inhaler the day before we fed the horses, and that's when I found out I was horribly allergic to Alfalfa hay. Hives on my throat, eyes bleary, hard to breathe because it triggered an asthma attack. After that I was required to take a benedryl every day before I went out with the horses. The day after my harrowing journey with the alfalfa I had a piece of hay stuck in my eye and Barbie, one of the councilors helped me pull it out and wash my face. Thankfully someone found my inhaler and I stayed with it like glue. The day after the hay in the eye I had dust in my eye. Yay... However I will say that the camp as a whole was really fun and I bonded very well with the horse I was assigned who was named Diamond. Someone also accidentally turned on the heater... in summer... On another note I recently met a horse with the same alfalfa allergy as me who was named Lucky, which was coincidentally the name of my first cat.

I went to an art camp when I was in Jr. High (and I'm 28 now), and I had a lot of fun. The small city I live in has a small art museum and it was hosted by them. I know we did a lot. I remember we did a watercolor painting where we would first color with crayons, and then paint with watercolors over it (so that the watercolors would bead up), and we did ceramics. We made a big jug type thing, I made mine look like puss-n-boots because this was roughly the time Shrek 2 came out, and then we did some smaller ceramic things where we learned how to add to a ceramic piece, and take away from it. It was a lot of fun.

I have a similar story. I think i was around 8-9 years old so my memory is kinda fuzzy. But basically there was this new summer camp that opened up. It had everything, INCLUDING 3-D PRINTERS! My parents both worked jobs so they thought this would be perfect for me. It had lots of activities including arts and crafts, which i was super excited about. When the time of the first day came, i jumped out of bed and got ready as fast as i could. We had a little intermission to wait for everyone to show up before we started. Once that was over, i went into the arts and crafts room witb around 15 kids and 2 councilors. The first thing we did was make clay pots. We were giving the spinning thing, a big chunk of clay, and water. We were not instructed how to do this, instead, one councilor went on her phone and the other just LEFT OUT OF NOWHERE. I asked the girl on her phone when we would draw, she said tomorrow. It was around lunch time now, so we all sat down to eat. Now the owner of this place had her son attend camp aswell. Usually, this wouldnt be bad, EXCEPT that he would always bully people and since the owner was his mom, she didnt do shit about it, and let her son make kids cry left and right. This is getting long, so i wont go into detail, but everyday i went to arts and crafts one of the councilors would leave and id ask "hey, when are we gonna draw" they always said tomorrow, but we never did. And once, i told the owner what her son was doing AND SHE FUCKING SAID "well, (sons name) doesnt like people talking about him behind his back :(" AND I WAS LIKE, UM HELLO????? Lots of other bad things happened, and all the councilors were shit. After i finished camp, and school was starting, i asked my dad how much this was. He said "about 3k a month" AND WHEN I TELL YOU I WAS IN SHOCK, LIKE I COULDNT BELIEVE THIS CRAP. But the fire seasons in california are brutal so that million dollar camp burned down! (i was also thinking about starting a channel like yours so i might turn this into a storytime)

I went to an AMAZING art camp called interlochen, and I'm trying to go this summer, but it's amazing because it's like only for the arts, and there are literally thousands of completely inspired talented kids your age doing what they love and it's like not even my home away from home, like it is my home

I went to a college every day for a week to learn how to use my gopro a few years ago. Instead we just messed around with stop motion, and when I asked about the gopros, they said we would do it later on, which we never did. It was still pretty fun, and I have a couple funny stories from that time, but it's not what I was signed up for.

[@yourlocalgrubdog3345]

My worst camp experiences were... Pretty bad. Ranked mostly with tamer stuff being first and the bad shit being last. 1) once got spoiled milk with a lunch one day. Was afraid to get milk for a good while after from that camp. 2) during one of my own arts and crafts camps, we did pearler beads. It was fun, but I was scared to use the iron due to being recently burnt badly, and asked the JCs to help. I'm guessing that sense I was around their age they decided to treat me like I was dumb/cowardly for being scared to use the iron. -_- 3. This is deffiniantly me just being whiny, but the camp had a screaming contest that hurt my head a ton. 4. This one is actually really really bad, basicaly my last year there my brother went too. Some assholes were picking on him, so I told them to piss off and went to get a councilor. He refused to do ANYTHING bc we had to "get our councilor". I was so fucking pissed. Never could find ours :/ 5. Another bad one. I nearly fucking drowned in the pool. After struggling for a moment I managed to save myself. Looked up at the life guard and she JUST FUCKING SMILES AT ME. (Never swam there for the rest of the year. Pissed of my future team mates bc I could/would no longer participate in the swimming competitions)

[@fueledbycandy5920]

I remember the same thing with my experience with electives except it wasnt for art. It was a creative writing elective and I loved writing so I signed up. For an hour we sat and did nothing. Sure, we could write if we wanted to, but most of us either sat and did nothing or we goofed off and made paper airplanes. I hated my time there and I asked abou it and they just blew me off

I was at some cheap horse camp when i was a kid, i was there for like 3 summers and one winter. As a kid i loved it because i got to ride horses and hang around with kids at my age and all that jazz.. But now as im older, i have come to realize how terrible the camp really was. The horses didnt really know anything and were really difficult to ride and our teacher didnt even have any schooling for teaching.

I went to a sleep-away camp as a kid with my little brother and we both didn’t want to go but my mother insisted, I guess as a way to get us to go outside more and get more friends (keep in mind he was 5 and I was 8.) The camp was terrible for both of us. My brother said that the camp counselors were very mean to him and took pictures of him crying and made fun of him. Meanwhile I was a homesick little girl who just wanted to go home, I got made fun of for my eating habits (I was extremely picky and a counselor scolded me for spitting food out that I was forced to eat), and it was overall a terrible experience for both of us. I forget the name of the camp but I stayed there for only 2 weeks and never forgot it, I was so grateful when my mother picked us up because nothing about it was fun for me.

[@Chiffawndue]

We had a weekend sleep away camp for school. We would finish this summer packet and if we got a certain score, we could go. I got in, I went.. and I stayed for a day. I didn’t like it. My mom didn’t make me go to school the next day because I had earned those days. (It was a Thursday-Sunday thing.) I still don’t like sleeping over at people’s houses unless it’s my cousin. We’re really close and we have each other’s backs.

back in 6th grade I had a really fun time with art class and wanted to take it again in 7th and I did so but...... the art teacher was just like " ok we are just gonna draw today no paper mâché, no clay art pieces and no painting just drawing " and when I turned my art pieces in she would always say " that thing in your drawing is copied for an artist you should be ashamed " and now I was into furries at the time and knew how to draw a wolf using my friend's method WHICH SHE TAUGHT ME HOW TO DO AND GAVE FULL CONSENT TO USE. needless to say this really broke the artist inside me causing me to not do art for a full year because I felt like my art style was shit and useless but eventually the emptiness inside me from not expressing my thoughts took over causing me to get back into drawing

[@nephrite3652]

I went to a girl scout camp that promised a lot of things, only to turn out that everything good was already full (archery, canoeing, crafts) even though we got there EARLY after driving FOUR HOURS to get there. our group ended up signing up for the pool most of the time because it had a lot of spaces so it was pretty much always available. sometimes it would be the only thing available. the few craft sessions we got in were the stupidest things ever. one of them we painted rocks to look like minions and put a googly eye on it (I was a cynical 5th grader so this got on my nerves so much) and the other one we folded a lite which took 5 minutes for an hour session. so I never went to girl scout camp outside of my district again:) I actually volunteer for my local girl scout camp every winter and it's always the same week as finals and I put in so much effort and I cant belive those other people just. didnt?? makes me feel sad for all the girls that got screwed over :(

[@mietta890]

i went to this day art camp where all we did was sit in front of a screen and draw what the guy was drawing, they weren't teaching us tips or anything and the "teacher" couldnt even draw they were copying directly off of a picture of Mike Wazawski and when it was recess they made us do this treasure hunt for money you couldnt even spend because it was fake, and a bunch of kids just sat in the corner on their ipads and phones while the "lessons" were going on, the only good thing about this came was that my bff was there with me.

[@oliviasgarden9376]

Omg we had the same sleep away science camp in middle school!

[@lowkey1899]

I actually might have gone to the camp that you are mentioning. It sounds very familiar, especially the quarantine sorta room. But anyways, I went up there for the science camp middle school experience. We were only allowed to stay up there for three days tho due to a "blizzard" that was coming (big quotations cause we later found out something else was going on and the teachers didn't want these little kids to worry). But on the 2nd day, we did this night walk sorta thing after dinner. I was already having a sucky time cause the activity before dinner was switched on our group to something else entirely, but we went up this hill and the counselor, gonna call her Echo, was leading us. Now, Echo,,was those types that signs up for a job that involves teens or kids, but absolutely despises working with them. She yelled at my cabin group just because we got an activity time wrong and was late for a few minutes. But anyways, we were forced not to use our flashlights during this night walk as it was to "see our sense heighten??" It was weird but she was very strict about the whole ordeal so we kept it off. After a while on the hill trail though, we stopped at a rest area to tell stories about the stars and some facts about them. When we were getting ready to leave, one of my friends lost their bottle. And being dark, he couldn't tell where he has placed it. so I did ask one of the other counselors (not Echo) that were there if we could the flashlight to just look around for a second. The counselor agreed and I turned it on for a second to point around the area. For the little second of light, I got screamed at by Echo, who was all the way in the front of the group ready to lead them, back down the trail. She said that I should listen and turn off the flashlight as I am ruining the experience for campers. The other counselor had to explain that they gave me permission cause of a lost item. She didn't like me for the remaining day we had at that camp, and when I got the little brochure about doing the other camps over the summer, I immediately threw it away just because I didn't wanna deal with Echo for weeks if I couldn't even stand her a day. Sorry this cam long and if my grammar sucks, but you just mentioning a similar camp to mine just hit me with memories lol.

[@missallegra7568]

Quite easily the worst camp experience I've had was, thankfully, only three days long, any longer and it would have had major health consequences for me, I was a theatre brat in highschool, I was in theatre studies and I also signed up for the school production, and not to brag, but I was damn good at it, I was head of both costume and makeup in both my class and the school production (Wizard of Oz) as well as 2IC on set and props for Oz, I was invested in this stuff, and this one camp killed so much of that for me. At the time I was also in a bit of a fragile state, my weight was fluctuating a lot and I could barely keep it above a weight that didn't have my doctor considering a tube diet, which meant I had to ration my energy, my anxiety was high and my depression unchecked, bit it was my last year of highschool and I wanted to stay involved and have these fun memories. Anyway, the camp, it was a Cram Camp, where we worked intensively on everything (I basically had to remake Glynda, Dorothy and the lion's costumes because they were falling apart) while the actors drilled lines and stage blocking. So the actors and all three teachers are up in the dining room working, and I, the only years twelve in crew, who thankfully had a working with Children's Check, was given a side room near the cabins where we could spread out our craft stuff and work, and I was the closest crew had to adult supervision. First day, we arrived at lunch time, dropped our bags in our dorms and got straight to work, the teachers forgot to send someone to get the crew when afternoon tea was brought out, I brushed it off as there being a lot to settle on the first day, dinner was enough that night anyway, the next day we had breakfast and I took my crew, they didn't call us for morning tea, lunch or afternoon tea, we were all completely absorbed in our work and there was no clock in the room, it hit 3:30 and one of the kids asked if anyone had snacks and we all simultaneously realised how hungry we were, so we go up to the dining room, they're in the process of packing up afternoon tea, there was only water and a few apples left, the teachers and actors ate lunch and two snack-meals meant for a group twice their size. When I pointed out to the head teacher, my theatre teacher who, up until now I thought was cool, that she was neglecting half of the kids she was responsible for, and they were kids, I was barely eighteen and some of them were as young as twelve, she told me I was overreacting. Dinner came, and I'm barely able to stand because this camp was also at one of the times my weight had dropped, I had to lean on one of my younger friends while standing in the dinner line. I asked the chef if there was any seconds or anything extra the crew could eat because none of us had had anything since breakfast, the teacher overhears and tells me that's not fair because there isn't enough food for EVERYONE to have seconds. Now I'm pissed and I remind her that the actors don't need seconds, and that I wouldn't be asking if she hadn't breached her duty of care and that I, a student, shouldn't have to be the one making sure other students are looked after when she's in charge of us, she continues to dismiss me, I report her as soon as we get back the day after, I quit the production, and when the school told me that they wouldn't do anything, I went to the department of education, I was so utterly disgusted with this teacher, who knew the condition I was in, and knew that I was only barely in charge of the group as a formality because we had hot glue guns and they couldn't spare one of three teachers from the actors, and still had the nerve to tell me I was over reacting and it was no big deal, and disgustingly, nothing came of it, I graduated (barely) and haven't done student theater since, and all three of those teachers still work there, I don't think any of them so much as got a warning aside from my berating them.

[@elliart7432]

This isn't a horror story, but I once went to a musical theatre day camp where I was the only "older kid" who signed up (I was entering junior year), so every camper was a good three years or more younger than me. I was actually older than most of the counselors (because it was an experience based program, not age). I ended up being good friends with them, but it was super weird when we did group activities, and they had to be in a position of superiority over me and the middle schoolers. I didn't let it bother me though and actually had a lot of fun 👍. Although the concert at the end was kinda hilarious with me standing in the middle of a bunch of pre-pubescent kids singing about growing up, lmao

I've only been to 2 camps plus 1 Day camp one summer ^^; The Day camp was pretty fun we made Easter eggs, Pirate Maps, a clown came one day, and so on. But I remember thinking that this was not an Actual camp as 1. It was in the middle of town inside a building and 2. There was no actual Camping ^^; Anyway the first camp I went to (that was closer to camping) was a camp called HA HA SO, that someone paid for me to go to and my Dad had agreed that I shouldn't have gone to that camp either lol ^^; The big reason why is that it was a Special Needs Camp, and I was not really considered Special Needs ^^; I had a little trouble controlling my emotions and not always being angery, but this camp wasn't for me ^^; It was a little more like Camping as you were in the woods, but mostly you slept in Barraks and every day there would be a new activity. One was arts and crafts, it was ok, but kinda dull. We made paper plate stuff like a rattle and such. There was a lake but I'm pretty sure we weren't allowed to swim in it because there was no camp councillor to watch us . . . -_- We went Actual Camping for a couple of days, but me and my friend got in trouble for going where the councillors couldn't see us, dispite using the buddy system and still being within earshot. By the time I went to Camp HA HA SO I had already been camping with my Aunt and Uncle, and they didn't have such ridiculous rules. Me, my Sister, and my 3 cousins from my Aunt's side could basically do what we wanted so long as we were being safe and if we wanted to go Canoeing or Kayaking we just had to ask them if we could and either one of them would come with us, or we could go on our own. My Aunt and Uncle were a lot of fun ^_^ So to sum up, HA HA SO was really dumb and I got along more with the older campers from a Different Camp (same local) than I did with the other campers that I was with, but it was free, so that was nice ^_^ The second Camp I went to was a Lot more Fun, I forget what it was called but we Actually went Camping!!! And this time the camp wasn't just paid for me to go but my Sister could Also go!! ^_^ Along with paying for Both my Sister and I to go to Camp we were also given free sleeping bags, a small Swiss army knife, and a duffle bag that lasted about 8 or so years afterwards ^_^ And so we were all split up into different groups with a male and female group leader. My leader was nicknamed Pinto, I forget why, but she was a Lot of fun ^_^ We went on hikes, Rock Climbing up the side of a mountain (we didn't go all the way up the mountain but was was natural rock climbing), we played flashlight tag at one point, and it was just a lot of fun ^_^ And just to touch on my Aunt and Uncle, they were very adventurous and outdoorsy and so when they invited us out they would pay for all of our activities and food and such. In the Summer we would sometimes go Camping, Horseback Riding, Swimming, and Mountain Walks. In the Winter we would Go Skiing for about 3 or 5 days (getting up at 5am so we can get there early to get a good parking spot Which didn't always work lol). One time my Aunt and Uncle got us a hotel room so that we didn't have to get up so early ^_^ And we had a Sauna, a Swimming Pool, and an Outdoor Hot tub ^_^ And mind you my Aunt and Uncle were paying for 5 (sometimes 6) kids plus themselves to do these activites. Best. Relatives. Ever!! ^_^

[@libraryscholaralexis6581]

When I was in middle school I would go into a day camp that lasted about a month. I'll call it Star and it was to help children with things like autism and learning disabilities to learn social cues and things like that. It was actually really fun. We would go on a trip once a week and we would learn about different social situations and how to handle them. Honestly it was really fun and I was in it till I was going into high school. I made some really good friends there and the people in charge were really nice. They were always more than willing to help the kids that were there each day. We had a lot of fun. We played board games and did arts and crafts. We played some fun games in the gym (since this was held at the place I ended up going to high school at). It was fun. I feel bad that you didn't have a good camp experience when you were younger. Honestly being as into art as I am now if I ended up doing things like making those braided bracelets all day I would be so bored.

[@breadcells640]

I went on a Paris trip with a youth organisation I was a part of in 2012 and it was fucking awful. For one, and this is an important detail, I do not have ANY special needs or disorders. For the trip I was severely limited by my leader; she assigned me a personal chaperone for literally everything I did, she put me in a room with total stranger's and put an adult in the room with the rest of the people from our group (no other rooms had an adult whatsoever) she limited what I could do on this trip my family paid THOUSANDS for and said I couldn't go on certain rides other people were allowed to (we went to disneyland) and on all other stay away trips I went on with that group I was always singled out and treated like shit. I was always treated like I was rather severely autistic and always singled out and yelled at. My mum paid good money for these trips only for me to come back crying.

I went to this camp at like the age of 11-12 with some kids i knew from school and i ( being stupid) got the times mixed up and missed the bus so i had to get driven there. I was so late that i didn't even get to pick my extra activity and whilst everyone got to go swimming 3 times a week i only got to go twice. Once on the second day and once at the end. So I've never been to a camp since and i kinda wish i did

[@draconicgremlin7484]

I went to a horse camp, and on the first real day of riding, we went under a metal canopy with our horses and tied our horses to the fence supporting the canopy to tack them up. The horse on the other side of the fence came up and bit my horse, causing him to tear up and fight his rope. I go in trying to untie him because a horse can break their own neck when they do this, and while I struggle to untie this damned rope, the fence lurches towards me and the metal canopy breaks off, causing a metal beam come fly and hit me at full speed in the head. I fell to the ground and had a headache for the rest of the week. I also blacked out for like ten seconds afterwards, the nurses said I didn’t have a concussion tho... so... It only gets better, on the last day of camp, we were on a trail and did a group canter, and we slowed down to a walk after about thirty seconds. I’m in the back besides the councilor behind me, and I feel my horse having trouble keeping his footing, so I get my boots out of the stirrups and get ready to jump off if he falls. He ended up falling and I jumped as far from him as I could and only ended getting my foot stuck under him. He tried to get back up and fell he other way when he had a seizure. Horse seizures are scary even though they don’t look as violent as a human’s. But blood poured out of his nose and his eyes rolled to the back of his head. I ended up riding a councilor horse back (these horses are trouble makers) and say in my cabin for like two hours staring at the wall (after getting my foot checked (only a big bruise)). I went back for more the next week. I got to ride all the trouble horses too!

[@happyslowpoke8982]

The most memorable “camp” experience I’ve had was while I was at the YMCA. For an entire summer when I was like 10, a girl who I thought was my friend tricked me into completely believing there was a vengeful shadow phantom around the place. And she would use that lie to make me do things I didn’t want to do (ex: she’d tell me to get her playground equipment or else the phantom was going to “kill my parents in the middle of the night with an axe”). I was definitely a reeeaaally gullible kid, but she just went into so much detail about the phantom that I didn’t know what would happen if I didn’t believe her.

I've never went to any camp because my parents... Sent exactly poor, but they're not rich either, ya know? But I'm going to this preparatory school (which is kind of the equivalent to high school here in Mexico) which has some technical careers, and I picked graphic design (duh) but it's like, a crap. The first semester we had nothing about design (we only had this extra class for all technical careers). And also most teachers aren't really good at teaching (despite some even have DECADES working at this) and lot that don't even seem like they *want to* teach. Which is fucking ridiculous, the pay for teachers is trash, everyone knows it. So yeah, we're actually having some design classes this semester, but I wouldn't keep my hopes up, the worst teacher I had got to teach us the one subject I actually wanted to learn (aside from the design stuff, obviously). Oh well, here we go again, I guess.

[@calystastandard7165]

I've only gone to one camp in my entire life, and i need to state now. I'm not a very religious person, yet the camp i went to was a religious christian camp all cause i was taggin along with a friend. To be honest my time there was not bad at all but it was pretty odd. I was still a fledgling, a twelve to thirteen year old who wanted to do something fun with their free summer time. i knew before hand that all and i mean All the ladies had to wear skirts, where i found out you could wear the skirt pants, which i had none of, luckily my counselor who had also been the one to let me come along to the camp had some of these skirts i could wear for the week we were there, only i am a big kid, always have been, so i'm squeezing myself into these skirts every day and then being active in them. Say the least, uncomfortable. Another thing was the contests the biggest one being how many psalms you could memorize by the end of the week, like the alpha and omega kind of things, and the cabin who had the most got first place. I remembered seven of these phrases and in total my cabin got second place. So no this isn't a bad camp experience, more so just an odd one considering the type of camp it was and the kind of person i am.

not exactly an art camp story, but here you go: (to preface this, the sign up sheet for classes had two elective spaces and you would put in your top two you wanted, then list 4 others in order of most wanted to least wanted.) so at the end of 8th grade year we signed up for our freshman classes and chose our electives based on the guide book they gave us with class info and such. I, of course, put Spanish as one (since a language is required) and an art class as the other. on the list I put another art class in case i didnt get the first, then photography, and whatever other choices I liked but didnt specifically want. so when school started the next year and we received our schedules, I saw that I had Spanish and... photography. alright, it would be fine, not a specifically art class but still fun, right? wrong. I got into the class, we get put at our seats (which each had a proper computer) and we end up using photoshop for the first few days. to color star wars lineart. with the paint bucket and a mouse. in a *photography* class. this goes on for weeks, I cant remember the exact length but it was too long and we werent even learning useful skills. we did end up using cameras eventually but none of it really progressed past the point of "go take pictures using this certain element of photography and put them into a slides presentation so I can grade it" the icing on the cake was that one of my close friends who isnt even that into art got into the drawing class (my first choice) when she signed up for photography. her last name is way down the list from mine too- i have a J and hers started with S. not my best year by far but this year I'm being homeschooled, thank god.

I’m a type one diabetic and I was forced to sign up for a diabetes camp... gained what felt like ten pounds in one week, wasn’t allowed to hang out in close proximity with the boys, and had to spend a week with a bunch of diabetics that were making abysmal life choices regarding their chronic condition... The only good parts was that I made a couple of friends (both guys), learned how to fish, and our counselor read us Harry Potter every night after lights out. The next year my endocrinologist tried to drag me into another year of camp but I immediately shut that down - it was a horrendous waste of money. Worst of all, the doctors on staff never trusted the diabetics that actually knew what they were doing. I had to write out every single correction I ever made on paper and they’d get mad at me if I did anything without them literally watching. Suck a fat one, diabetes camp - it took me another whole week of working my ass off just to burn off those pounds that I gained because of their complete disregard for a balanced diet for literal diabetics. 🤷‍♀️

I live in a different state, but was this a YMCA camp? I've been to a YMCA camp and when you describe your camp more and more, as in the cost per week, the age groups, etc., it reminds me of a YMCA camp.

[@Twist3dDisast3r]

no it wasnt it was a private company camp

[@felixdick3766]

@@Twist3dDisast3r ohhhh ok. that also explains why I had a better camp experience.

[@kaydenstuff]

Middle school art class (we just copied logos onto bigger sheets of paper w grids) and high school animation (It was just 3D animation and the teacher sucked. Like if you didn't get it at first, you we're completely screwed and I hated it. I once skipped the class once bc it was the last class of the day to hang out in my intensive math class.)

oh my god, what you described was camp camp.

I went to a sleep away camp in grade 7 and one of the counselors kept calling me rachet because I wore a tank top and a skirt

[@tera415]

FIVE GRAND FOR FOUR WEEKS?? My camp is only $190 for ONE week and I have a way better experience when I go.

[@Botanymajority]

I went to a camp and did arts and crafts, all we did were those stupid braid things you showed and some melt beads. Though, the camp was pretty great most of the time. My counselors were always really happy and loved their job. You had to have jobs in the camp tho, and my dumb ass chose gardening. GARDENING. And this place is hot, so like, that was a death wish. It was also a religious camp, not being into jesus and stuff... I kinda lean toward Hinduism... I didn't sing or whatever. They did alot of jesus stuff and tried to make me do it too but nah. It was ok, I had friends, and they usually had awesome themes and stuff, and usually the end was super cool. But I kinda was REALLY uncomfortable with the jesus stuff so I stopped going. And the art class was REALLY lame. Like, WE DIDN'T EVEN DRAW! Also, yeah, APSOLUTELY not tech.

5 grand is cheap or not cheap if you look into it for California and washington. But yeah they should have done what the promised. So you were spending 350 a day at that thing. I would say 30 to 50 bucks would be for the food and the labor of it. Unless they made the cooking class kids make the food everyday then be half but is sounded like they didnt do that so 50 bucks for the food. This is for GOOD FOOD like a full breakfast lunch and dinner. For sleeping there, taking care of you, if there was plumbing, eclectic, using their lake, dancing room, and boats 150 bucks is normal for the evil state of California and washington. Thats like having a hotel cost except you have people watching you kids so its cheap. A bady sitter well in my family would pay 15 dollars but most people do 10 bucks and hour. If a baby sitter had to watch a kid for 24 hours that would be 240 to 360. Sooooo maybe thats how they saw it. So the 150 left well maybe 100 did go to pay for the teachers and kid sitters salary. That makes 50 bucks should have been them teaching you and giving you supplies. Which they didnt do. Personally it should have been 3 grand not 5. Thats a more fair price because you said it wasnt a small dinky camp where it would have cost more like I said. Unless they had 50 teachers there at all times 5 grand was to much. Edit, I forgot about insurance thats about 50 bucks added because they have to cover they butts if a kid died or something. Personally would have made my dad by a 5 grand laptop... which he did when I was a 13 year old kid.

Okay, so this isn't a camp experience because I have never been to a camp before, but I just wanted to let you know that by watching you draw your own pictures and not using a sketch has really helped me with my own drawing and I have improved so much by watching your vdeos my friends are kind of dumbfounded. xD I also feel for confident in my drawing abilities and it means a lot to me that you put so much effort into videos because up until a few days ago, I hadn't drawn in months. I had no positive thinkings about my drawings. I was at a low point until I found your channel by actually watching Emily Artful. So you probs won't see this and that's okay cause my explanations were crap! :p
