You Are How You Camped

It's that time of year again, the time of year when children are packed up and shipped off to summer camp. Being the only child that I was, for whatever reason I was not subjected to the trials of being separated from my parents at a young age for months at a time. I did a few week long day camps over the years but nothing more than that.

However I believe I made up for it in the end after spending two summers working on a dude ranch that was a healthy mix of the movie, City Slickers, and the tv show, Hey Dude (with a little Real World minus the camera crew thrown in).

That being said, summer camp experiences and how you handled them as a child, set you up for the type of person you are going to be when you stop going to camp and school and start growing up. Right? Are you, in face, how you camped?

I cam across this article today and had to share. Not only is the subject matter amusing and thought provoking, but the writer's (Timothy Noah) got skills. I was cracking up. So sit back, relax, and enjoy: You Are How You Camped.

And feel free to share camp stories of your own, they may say more about who you are today than you think.
