As Tips on Trips and Camps consultants, each summer we travel and visit camps around the United States. Seeing camps in action, campers engaged in wonderful activities and having so much fun.  We often have the opportunity to speak with campers and ask them about camp. One summer I asked campers to tell me the best thing about camp! Here is what they said!

“Tradition”

“The fun!”

“You get to pick your own schedule.”

“You can be yourself.”

“Stronger friendships that at home.”

“Evening programs.”

“Making friends from all over the world.”

“Nobody judges you at camp.”

“No pressure.”

“I love when it rains, because you can slide in the mud!”

“We’re too busy to miss our parents.”

“No clicks.”

“A good bubble.”

“Shaving cream fights!”

“S’mores”

“This is my second home.”

“The video is for REAL!”

From the mouths and hearts of campers. What an awesome experience to see camp life in action first hand! Needless to say, it touched our hearts.
