Let’s Talk About Camp, Baby!

Dry, Wholesome Jesus-Camp Summer 

“I don’t think I did enough drugs or got into enough trouble to have a good testimony.” Lindsay

From the one-piece swimsuits and the oversized free t-shirts all the way to the tearful confessionals and personal testimonies around a bonfire, Evangelical Christian summer camps were a masterpiece of emotional manipulation and unadulterated peer on peer action. 

Join Lindsay, Meg, and Sarai - a bevy of former camp attendees (and a lifer in the bunch, who would reconvert TODAY if a lifelong summer camp job opened up for her) - as they discuss the Camp ExperienceTM. Whether they were finding sneaky ways to be near crushes, witnessing gross-out challenges in the mess hall, or reliving an experience with a rattlesnake that is less parable and more badass than you'd expect, these maidens were camp mavens. 

If you’re a former church kid who grew up going to camp, you’ll find some familiar tales of the dust-laden camps where craft shacks ruled the day, all the way to the fanciest pants California camps with pools and comparatively luxurious cabins *with bathrooms INSIDE THEM*, and hopefully, it will be a relatively soothing trip down memory lane. Hey, even Exvangelicals need a break sometimes, and what’s better than some good, clean, camp-based fun?
