What a great podcast! I suppose there’s the right camp out there for most kids, it’s a just matter of finding a good fit with activities that interest the child.

We walked around and I saw the magnificent horses, the cool kids, the outdoor pool surrounded by forest (the pool glowed green at night)! and pretty soon I was bothering my mom every five minutes asking when the heck I would be old enough to attend. Ten years later I still loved it.

I love how your mom got you interested—what a
great idea. And I do hope that my kids will return to
their camp year after year. It was wonderful!
