Latrines were terrible
Spiders (Were they not big enough)
Time between classes (more time needed to get across camp)
Food quantities inconsistent (Not enough at beginning, too much at end)
More showers, 1 didn’t work. (First time girls were there?)
Butterfly attacks! They were like tiny kamakazes!
Make sure we are more consistent. Better flow
Would you change what you packed?
Flip flops for showers (Mentioned several times!)
Bring rain gear instead of having to use a trash bag. Not very fashionable, but at least it was Thrifty!
Bring more $$. Spent a lot on cream soda and sugary treats at the Trading Post.
Lots of magic cards bought too!
Flip flops at pool, burning feet!
Better socks
Goggles for pool
Overpacked clothes
Hiking stick was helpful
Sweatpants for comfort
USE the bug spray

How did you change while at camp?
Better leadership skills
I can survive without an Xbox all day
Became a more responsible person.
Getting over fears
Being a nice person to everyone
Parents say I'm quieter...I lost my voice.
KUDOS!!
Nobody took electronics! No one looking at phones! (You won’t remember the Minecraft video you watched 20 years from now)
Staff working until 11pm then up at 5am
No mosquitos!
