| The type of classes I imagine they have a summer camp |
Which is bad as it shows that my ideas of summer camp come purely
from movies and not from experience.
And this year my Little P is going to 'summer camp'. Well, at least
that's what her school is calling it. They've given the kids special t-shirts to
wear for the entire summer, there's a list of activities a mile long of what they will be doing over the next few months and even guest speakers (!) that will be coming in to talk about.... well, I don't know, kid's stuff I guess.
Look, as long as there are no camp fires, or weird camp counselors and she doesn't come home covered in glue and glitter
(any more than usual), I'm all for it.
What I do know about the summer camp her school is doing is
that Little P is super excited about it. She's never not liked going to
school, once we get there she's all 'Bye Mommy. Have good day.' And
with that, I'm temporarily forgotten - till I come and get her.
But this week, the moment she puts on that
special t-shirt, she's ready to rock and roll and can't wait to get to school.
I'm hoping that as
she gets older, she will still enjoy going to camp, as I have no doubt this will
be something that she will be doing every year - unless of course I can get her
internships at work each summer....
What did you do over the summers as a kid? Were you a ‘camp kid’
or did you do something different for those long days of summer vacation?
Till next time,

I always dreamed of going to summer camp, mostly because of The Parent Trap (Lindsay Lohan does not qualify). But I never went to anything like it, except for one week during the summer when I went to a church camp for young women ages 12-18. I loved it.
ReplyDeleteSummer camp never really existed for me either - my brother and I spent a couple of summers going to the YMCA for activities, but we mostly just entertained ourselves.
DeleteAgreed - Hayley Mills had me wanting to go to camp for sure, but the closest I came was a few weeks in log cabins on a lake with my extended family (cousins and the like). Most summers we just spent time at my Nana's, since she has a huge farm to run around.
ReplyDeleteHayley way better than Lindsey. And our summers where the same - spending time with family, although as I got older, most of my summers were spent catching the bus to go to the beach each day.
