camp.

Spring Camp is at the end of this week, and I'm pretty stoked. I'm also feeling really stressed becasue I have so much school work that I'll need to catch up on, but overall, I'm pretty excited. I had the opportunity to go to camp last spring and I was lucky enough to be able to staff this camp.

It's kind of scary how this simple concept is taken for granted by so many students. There were a lot of students, especially seniors, who applied as campers, and were not accepted because there were just that many students. Many of them were really upset. I would be too. It's one of those things that I believe every student should have the opportunity to experience and then they can form their won opinions about the camp experience.

Camp is one of those urban legends. Most people have no idea what goes on, but everyone has heard bits and pieces about it. "They force you to cry..." is the biggest issue. And everyone always asks, "Did you cry at camp? ...What about that guy?" Regardless of what other people think, I think camp is a very important part to the academy and all students should try and take part in it, and don't wait until spring of your senior year because you might not have the opportunity.
