So, the highlight of my summer is this computer camp I am going to. Its one week: July 15-20. I am taking a game design coarse where I will be working with 3D modeling programs along with other programs to code a game.. I will have a complete coded game before I leave the camp (of coarse, the game won't be that good at all lol). Here is the website for the camp: http://www.internaldrive.com/
If any of you know hohoman90, he will be my roommate since we are attending the camp together, and he will be taking the same coarse as me. I am really exited for this.. never been to a computer camp before.

Discuss summer camps you have attended and how fun they were.

Not sure if this counts as a camp, but I just got back from Junior National Young Leaders Conference. We toured the early places of American History (D.C., Philly, Baltimore, Harper's Ferry) and learned about leaders of that time. Website is http://www.cylc.org/ and next year I'll be going to JuniorNYLC Alumni Boston.

I went to a summer camp a few years back. Best time of my life!

[Chew]

Only been to summer camp twice, once was for boy scouts which kinda sucked and was lame. The other one my parents sent me to by accident, they must have been high or something because there I was 13 y/o skinny little kid at a fat camp. I begged my parents to take me home but there was no refunds and I was stuck there.

Bahahahahahaha xD Thats hilarious... I bet those fat kids were like..

i went to camp twice about three-four years ago. i went with my best friend (other girly in my pic) and we were always together and refused to do any activities separated.
i remember when her bathing suit fell off and i was all "YOURE TOPLESS!?" and we had to find her top in the pool where the diving board was. xP

I go to camp with the gay scouts every year. This year I'm also going to New Mexico to hike for two weeks.

And my cousin is going to a similar camp

[Mr. Hobo]

Went to camp a couple years ago, the monitors were fun and I made a couple friends but for the most part it was anti-social kids and retarded kids (they did this thing where they put 3 or 4 special kids in a normal group and gave a speech about integration or something like that. All it did was put stress on the monitors since they had to try and include them in activities when both themselves and regular kids didn't want them to)

From what everyone is saying, it seems only Cara had a good time at a summer camp.. I hope I have more fun than some of you other people did.

Conneticut New mexico?

Oh my bad, I thought you were asking about my cousin.

I'm going to the Philmont scout ranch there.

I went to camp last year and did a 3 week backpacking trip across part of the Appalachian trail. The year before I did a 3 week bike tour in Canada with the same camp.

I think computer camps just contribute to America's obesity epidemic. If you're going to have fun then I suppose that's the point of a camp, but what the hell is the point of summer if you aren't even going to spend time outside?

Yes but yours was a kind-of-summer camp lol

Well this camp does not encourage you to sit down on a computer all day. You have one-two hours of your coarse, and then you have a an hour or two break, and they have outside activities (I don't know what they are) but in the camps policy, they state that this camp is for learning about computers and they will promote you going outside and doing various activities they have. They have very few "fun" things to do concerning computers and they do not allow you to bring televisions, video game councils, and they even don't want you brining cell phones to the camp. Certain computer camps contribute to the obesity epidemic of America, but this one does not seem to be one of them.
Plus, I am not obese... I play three sports in which I excel at and workout periodically throughout the summer. I am "overweight" by medical standards though.. but maybe thats because i almost squat 400 lbs. and bench almost 300lbs. when I am weighing in at 180lbs. at the moment.

Going to have to say same here...Never went to a camp. But I don't know how much of a 'camp' scenario a game design course would be!
