**Rain Man** · 08-13-2008, 08:38 PM

What camps did you go to as a child, and for how long?

Poll coming, just so I can get my poll-making badge.

Drumline, Church, and Boy Scout Camps. Football Camp in Jr High and High School if that counts as well. Oh and I hoboed across the US in a freight car.....JK!

Classic outdoor camps (2)

And uhhh, yeah, Golf Camp.

Golf Camp was fun though, 'cause they had Cheerleading Camp at the same time and we shared the same dorms with the girls.

I did music camps and a language camp. The language camp sucked balls, even if it was only for a week. I learned nothing that I wouldn't learn in school years later.

I prefer 14 days of sex camp. Those are offered all the time in Woodland Hills, CA.

Though sadly, that wasn't an option.

I was born in Woodland Hills. Yolo county, right?

Oh, and yes, church camp. 1 week for like 4 years.

Good ol' church camp.

**BigRedChief** · 08-14-2008, 06:07 AM

Went to an outdoor camp once. It was through a church but they said it wasn't a religious camp. And they did pray and had services a couple of times but that was okay not a real pushy thing with the religion.

But what I remember was that we had to watch anti-communist propaganda films. At least 5 times in a week. Commmuism is the worse thing to happen to humanity. They will destroy our way of life etc. Thinking about it now, what was the difference of how they were trying to indoctroniate/brainwash their kids any different than the commies?

Church camp
Baseball camp
Basketball camp

**Baby Lee** · 08-14-2008, 06:35 AM

Boy Scout Troop camped a weekend a month every month for 7 years, except June/July when we'd spend 10 days in Osceola.
Had Church Reunion [1 week] and Retreat [1 weekend] once a year
Had a couple of soccer day camps in younger years, until playing for the traveling team pretty much took care of all the soccer exposure I needed, as well as taking care of those pesky excess free weekends.
In HS went to a couple of mock trial camps

Went to Camp Longhorn in Burnett, TX. What a kick-but experience for a kid! Away from my parents for three freaking weeks during the summer. Went there for 5 years as a camper and went one year after that as a CIT (Counselor In Training). Good times...good times...
