15 things to do at camp this summer


You’ve made your packing list, promised to write your buds and sworn to Mom that you’d wear sunscreen 24/7. It’s time to get psyched for the summer camp sesh to end all summer camp seshes!


1. Conquer a fear, whether it’s heights (try the zipline or go rock climbing) or water (hello, canoeing!)


2. Try a new activity


3. Befriend the loner. You could always use another friend, right?


4. Flirt with a cute guy (if there are any around). Just remember, counselors are off limits!


5. Start a splash war at the lake


6. Pull a prank (but keep it on the tame side so you don’t get in trouble!)


7. Befriend at least one person a week


8. Record each day in photos. Say cheese!


9. Polish up your best ghost story for and around-the-campfire story sesh


10. Playing truth or dare? Stop chickening out and choose dare!


11. Take center stage during the talent show instead of hanging in the wings


12. Start a recycling initiative to make your camp eco-friendly


13. Learn how to play the wake-up call on a bugle. Haven’t you always wanted to do that?


14. Climb a tree. Come on, you can do it!


15. Gather your comrades and serve the counselors, junior counselors and last-year campers dinner


Oh, and one more thing! Write your friends. They really do miss you, ya know.
