Letters from Camp is a series (http://www.talkcamp.com/showthread.php?t=722) of fictional letters from 'Camper', an eleven-year-old writing home to his parents about his first summer at camp. He is in the youngest unit, aged between 10-12 years old.
Mom,
I might surprise you when I see you in just over a week, Alan, one of the other campers, got sent some hair color in a can, in the mail today. He got bright green and blue, and we all got different patterns in our hair. Ann, another counselor got half her hair green and half blue –she looked like a witch! Now everyone on camp knows who we are, and asks us where they could get some! We got to spray what we wanted, so I got spots and stripes like the flag. It might wash out in the lake though, so you might not get to see it.
I was also in the dance this Friday. We have one every Friday, and we did a cowboy dance, with Nicki from B6 and Unit Leader Pete leading. It was kind of scary, because I was really worried beforehand, but everyone cheered us on, which helped a lot! We all took a bow, and one of the other Unit Leaders, who was doing the announcements, said we were really good.
It’s really strange to think how much I wanted to come home at the start, but now I don’t want it to end!
Letters from Camp is based at Summit Camp, Pennsylvania. Summit is a camp for children with emotional, social and behavioural difficulties, such as ADHD, Asperger’s Syndrome, or juvenile on-set bi-polar disorder, and has a no-sugar food policy.
