I had 500 kids at camp this past summer for example. We do nine weeks for kids and nine days for grown ups every summer. The adult camp is a lot of fun.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Believe it or not, but I was a camp councilor for three years. I love kids.
I've enjoyed many camping holidays with my sister and her children, but we're pretty posh campers.
When I was 12, my mum put us in a summer camp meant for children from low-income families. It was in upstate New York where we had to live in tents, fetch water, cook our meals, and even dig our own toilet bowls.
At the weekends, I usually have around 50 kids running around in my back garden. They are all friends of my kids. I know all their names. We have barbecues, put up tents, and play soccer. I love it.
Well, right now we're so busy that I kind of had to put all the hobbies on hold. But I like going camping with my kids. I have two daughters; they're 7 and 10 years old.
I worked at a daycare for a couple of years going through high school and college. I did youth sports camps. I ran all the camps through my college.
Midwest kids got to summer camp. There is something very special about being away from your parents for the first time, sleeping under the stars, hiking and canoeing.
I have two new nephews and a new niece this year, so I have plenty of kids that I can spend time with.
I have family obligations and all that stuff. I get my kids six weeks in the summer, which is a real intense period of time. I'm with them every minute of the day.
My camps are always ten weeks. That's what makes me comfortable.
