I never went to a camp
that ran all summer long, but I did go to a religious camp that took place the
week before Labor Day for a number of years. It didn’t have any concentrations
in archery or canoeing, but I did make a lanyard once and climbed these big
boulders that were piled up outside of the theater/crafts space. I suppose you
could say I received some religious indoctrination, but it’s a hippie dippie
quasi-religion, so our workshops were like “Unlearning Racism,” and “Important
Women in History.” Mostly, I goofed off and rehearsed for a talent show at the
end of the week. But you know what? I remained close friends with a lot of
those people for a long time. One of my best friends to this day is from that
camp. I think there’s something about being in an unfamiliar space during your
formative years, with other kids in their formative years, that foments a
special familiarity. I’m sure that’s what brings the Lumberjanes together—plus,
the fact that they fight monsters together. I wonder what keeps those Gotham
Academy preppies so tight? Maybe we’ll find out together, if you read my
review!
