[color=firebrick] I went to Duke TIP...most amazing camp, I must say. It's an academic camp [nerd camp, lol] that has qualifications of certain SAT scores. You got in invitation in seventh grade if you've done well in school and you took the SAT or the ACT. Anyways, it's an awesome camp.

I went to Davidson College [my second year] and took a class on Lord of the Rings. There's basically a bunch of stuff you can choose from, like philosophy, debate, certain math classes, psycology, Shakespheare, filmography, fantasy, writing, computers [like game making, JAVA, etc.], theatre arts, probably anything you can think of. The cooler classes are at Duke, lol, which is where I'm going next year. There's even a class on Vampires, for pete's sake. You have tons of classes that get into specific parts of large subjects...there's even a marine lab. I could go on and on about how wonderful this camp is. Because it is. XD

You stay in an actual college dorm room and get a roommate, and you take six hour classes Monday-Friday and one hour classes with your teacher assistant. It might sound dumb and boring, but if you picked a class to your interest, the time will literally fly by. You have TONS of fun and excitement in those classrooms, I tell ya. You learn stuff that you probably won't learn anywhere else and it's awesome. :) You actually get real college professors and...smart teacher assistants [all of them were from like Yale or MIT] And unfortunately you get real college food...ugh.

Anyways, just because it's an academic camp doesn't mean it's boring. It's AMAZING, like I said before. I worship it. You go to movie theatres and roller rinks and such every week and have nightly activities like sports of...more movies or drawing or something. They give you a lot of freedom and you have hallmates that usually become your best friends. And you can make trips of CVS and stock up on sodas and chips and hide them in your closet...that was fun. And the friends you make there actually stay friends...you keep in touch with them like crazy. I consider the people I meet at TIP like friends I've known my whole life. On the last day they let us have giant sleepovers in each other's rooms and we were all squashed...it was so funny, lol.

And yes, it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I adore it.[/color]

I went to Marine Boot Camp. It was a living hell. I met a lot of different people from the west of the Mississippi who all go to train at MCRD San Diego. I also met a lot of angry men who wanted to kick my by butt and eat me alive... they're called Drill Instructors ;). You want to know what i did? Watch "Full Metal Jacket", plus a lot of things I probably can't tell you. It was Marine Boot Camp, enough said, lol. It was one hell of a learning experience. Unfortunately, due to medical circumstance I was unable to finish, so i have to wait around till I finish my first year of college and then return to the Marines. Fortunately I have the opportunity to go Officer Candidate School in Virginia, instead of returning to basic enlisted boot camp in San Diego.

[color=darkviolet]Can we tell about past camp experiances? Because I have some good ones, that involve getting into fights with the other kids. Oh and I haven't been to summer camp since i was like ten.

I went to daycamp out in Brighton which is a pricy suburb East of my town. I think this was the year i was nine, so my brother would be six. And I heard some kid making fun of my brother. So I walked up to him and said, So, are you talking about John? (my brother). The kid's like yeah, he';s such a retard. I'm like No, he's not. but he is my brother. Then I punched him and a camp concilor sent a note home about my disorderly conduct.

That was the same year my brother would only wear pants and one of the camp concelor's made a big deal about it.

I could never figure out those things.[/color]

I directed a kids play at a kids' fine arts camp this summer if that counts. I also worked there got a paycheck XD But that wasn't really my summer camp.

I am going to Cross Country Camp next week so I'll be away for a while. It's gonna be so awesome. I loved it last year. We run all these awesome coarses, hang out with other schools' teams, etc. I'll tell more when I return :)

I was forced to go to a Christian camp,and I didn't like it because I'm not Christian so I had no clue what anyone was talking about.

But the food was good.
