I’m 14 years old, and I’ve been at Camp Weequahic for two summers. My first year,I signed up for three weeks, but I fell in love with the camp and, at the end of the first session, decided to stay six weeks. I spent some time with my parents, but when I came back I felt as if I was coming home. All the people in my first session bunk only stayed three weeks, so for the second session I moved into a bunk of kids who had been here for years. I was kind of nervous about moving into a bunk of people who’d known each other for so long, but by the end of the summer I grew close with my bunk. This year, I’ve come back to great friends and my home away from home.
