Anyways read on

-Abnormality is a compliment.
-Being at home makes you homesick.
-Dressing up only involves slightly cleaner clothes.
-Everything you have has your initials on it.
-Most of your stories start with "and then there was this one time, at camp..."
-On the job training includes "the Cup Game".
-Tater tots are its own food group.-Sandal/watch tan lines are a competition.
-Sharpies, pens and duct tape are worth more than gold.
-Water cures all ills.
-Camp has been over for 22 minutes, and you're already thinking about next summer.
-You are convinced that there is no way you can date someone who is not a camp guy/girl, because no one else really understands.
-You can burst into song about anything.
-You can make anything out of duct tape, including band-aids.

The more I learn...the less I know...

"...we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." Romans 5:3-5
