Have you ever been camping?

The short answer to this question is yes. The longer answer is that I hate it. I hate sleeping in tents and being outside where there’s bugs all over me and having to wear sunscreen. The worst part about camp is when I went to overnight camp, I didn’t get along with anybody there. I just wanted to go home and once again, it was another case where I was awakened too early having not slept the whole night before due to homesickness. As a child, I always had to be near mom and times when I wasn’t, I felt like crying. Well, some things never change as I am this way to a certain extent currently. Well, maybe minus the crying part. However, my phone log will prove that mom is a big part of my life even at my age. For this reason, I would think it was only much worse as a kid. This was one of the things that made overnight camp a nightmare for me, having to be away from mom for upwards of two weeks. Also, I can’t identify this but camp has always had a really awkward smell and this was one I did not like either. To make it simple, the only camp I prefer to stay at is called “Camp My Home.” If not this camp, then it’s any camp where mom is staying at.
