This summer I will be back in my happy place, which is summer camp. Kids and staff from all over come to this camp and live in harmony for an entire summer, and honestly it is one of the most magical places on Earth.

While in this magical place, there are a few things that you appreciate a little extra.

1. Chipwiches

Snacks are good most days, but the Saturday Chipwich snack is actually the best.

2. The best shoe ever. . .CHACOS

Chacos are great, they can be worn with almost anything. Also the tan lines they leave on your feet are great.

3. The sweet smell of sunscreen

You learn to love it, because you're going to smell like it, pretty much all day every day.

4.Themed days of the week

Tropical Tuesday, Wolf Shirt Wednesday, Jersey Thursday. It's like a party every day.

5. The mini vacation that is camp

Even though you are working, being at camp is like being on vacation. Days spent with your camp friends by the lake sounds like a vacation to me.

6. Camp friends

Even though you are staff, you still make your "Camp Friends" and they are actually the best.

7. Cheers, chants, & dances

Even as staff you partake in cheers, chants, and dances. In fact, you are the one teaching said cheers, chants, and dances.

8. Friendship bracelets everywhere

Friendship bracelets are everywhere, campers making them, staff making them. They're actually a big thing.

9. Natural hair and no makeup

This is self explanatory, but honestly no makeup and natural hair is just the move for camp.

10. Closing campfires and saying goodbye

Even as a staff member, the closing campfire and goodbyes are equally sad.

Camp is an incredible place full of amazing people and it is hard to say goodbye to.
