What is Camp?

Camp is not just a location, it is a rite of passage that all boys and girls should experience at somepoint in their life. To live and exist in the "great outdoors". With the birds chirping in the distance, squirrels frolicking in the trees and suicidal bees coming in for their kamikaze strike. Camp that institution that builds character and self-reliance. If you can survive camp, you can handle anything!
