Did you ever go to sleep-away summer camp?

Today's question was inspired by this article posted on The Huffington Post by Todd Kestin, "What's Needed to Prepare Your Child for the Future? The Answer May Surprise You..."

Yes, loved it. Was the best swimmer there.

Absolutely!!! Camp Arrowhead right across the bay from Dewey Beach! and I think being the best swimmer at 10 is just not dying in the pool.. andrew.

Yes. Oxford Guilford in upstate NY. The best times in my childhood were spent there.

Camp Crystal Lake -so much fun for those of us who survived.

Swim camp. Right around the corner from Leslie Hall's house in Manch!

Yes. It was fun, but also a little traumatic because it was a Baptist camp and some kids asked me if I had been saved/told me if I hadn't, I'd go to hell.

YES! Funny story a day late ... it was in the Poconos and exactly like that Camp Krusty episode on The Simpsons. The brochure made it seem amazing (this was in the 80's, so obviously no Internet). We get there and it's a rundown piece of shit. After about three weeks (it was supposed to go on all summer), my Mom came by in the middle of the night and picked up my brother in I from our cabins. We made the midnight escape.
