Camp Cherokee with the Boy Scouts.
Loved it!

I did it for a few years. Looking back I'm glad I did because it exposed me to new people and new experiences.
During my childhood I lived in the same town on the same street and went to the same school for 8 years. I had my tight group of best friends at school and in the neighborhood and we had the exact same interests and did everything together.
A lot of summer camp stuff is lame but it forces kids out of their bubble.

Went to a BREC camp before 8th grade year. Was a blast and one of the best summers of my life.

Yes. 8 week sleep away camp in the Berkshires in western Mass. Intensive all around sports programs, all boys, w/ the girls camp down the way. Loved it, some of my fondest memories and still talk friends I met there 35 years ago.
My grandfather was the first to attend the camp in the 30s, my uncles in the 60s, I was a camper from 86-92 and my oldest nephew just spent his first summer. So pretty cool, four generations so far.

I did a few sleep in dorms soccer summer camps at universities.
We had a y day camp on the lake and every week you could choose diff things. Water sports, horseback riding, archery, arts and crafts, team sports. The parents would drop us off at a sears parking lot and school buses would take us.

Did Camp Ozark when I was 12. Loved every minute of it.
Also did Philmont scout ranch when I was 14, also an incredible experience.

4-H Camp at Camp Grant Walker in Pollock after my 4th, 5th, and 6th grades for a week at a time back in the late 80’s. Good times

Subtle “Yes, I have sucked a penis” brag.

I went one year and found it boring compared to my summers at home or the week at cousins in Carencro. At home I could go fishing or looking for snakes to shoot all summer long.

Did Dixie basketball a few times. I know many posters on this site did also. Not sure if that qualifies as summer camp.
Posted on 1/1/22 at 2:59 pm to Billy Blanks
No, not a traditional summer camp. I attended a week long basketball camp at a college once.

YMCA summer camp helpedme become a man. It's where I first had a knife put to my throat by a kid named Layton. So many lessons learned.

Nope, couldn't afford it
Posted on 1/1/22 at 3:09 pm to Billy Blanks
Yes, but only for a week each time. Camp Maryhill, (Catholic, sponsored by the KC’s) from age 9 - 12, and one year I went to Camp Grant Walker (4-H camp) and to Camp Maryhill. And two years of cheerleader camp! My siblings did not like to go, except one brother who went to Camp Edgewater (Boy Scout camp).

Boy Scouts Camp Comer when I was 12. These were the accommodations…
