Camp is very important to me for many reasons. Camp is one of my favorite places to go every summer. I am very fortunate to have a place like camp to go to, and spend time with my family. I love going to camp so much because it is one of the most fun places (for me, anyway) to spend a couple of weeks during my summers. 

Going to camp is something I look forward to every summer. I love to swim, play, and hang out at camp. Some of my favorite things at camp are: family, the lake (and swimming until it is time to go to bed), the disgusting amounts of food, riding my bike around the circle many times, making s'mores, playing with Nell, and the many other kids there, yelling at the noisy boats on the lake, building fairy houses, swimming all the way out to the "No Wake" buoy, eating dinner at the picnic tables and watching the sun set over the sparkling lake, water tubing with Pat and Nell on the back of Marigrace's boat, making the messy "potions" that many of the adults hate, and so, so much more. All of these things, I am so grateful for, and I appreciate very much.

I love falling asleep at camp, or Gram's house hearing people I love talking or laughing or running around, and the loudspeakers from Camp Robin Hood, and even the somewhat obnoxious sound of the boats going by on the lake. I also love waking up every morning at Gram's house or camp (wherever I may be staying) to see the sun shining, and smell pancakes or something delicious cooking. 

Occasionally I wonder, if there is any place on earth I would rather go to spend time with my family, than camp. Probably not. So, that is what camp means to me, and I am so grateful that I have camp there for me.
