Question more for Americancels I guess. Here in Spain summer camps exist but they aren't that popular. Also typically kids don't sleep at the summer camp, they just go there during the day (like from 9AM to 1PM) to do sports and activities then get picked up by parents and go home. I went to a few and some were cool but others absolutely hated them.
There was one basketball themed summer camp which my parents forced me to go and I think it legit made me hate basketball for the rest of my life kek. The best one was one I did in France (I was around 15), in this one yes I had to sleep there but I met good people and genuinely had a good time. Even if some of the kids there were a bit posh they weren't snobby.
What about you friendcels. ER recalls a particularly bad moment at a summer camp when he was 11 years old: "At this camp, an incident happened that would scar me for life. The first time that I was treated badly by a girl [...] I was innocently playing with the friends I made, and they were tickling me [...] I accidently bumped into a pretty girl the same age as me, and she got very angry. She cursed at me and pushed me, embarrassing me in front of my friends. I didn’t know who this girl was [...] But she was very pretty, and she was taller than me. I immediately froze up and went into a state of shock. One of my friends asked me if I was ok, and I didn’t answer. I remained very quiet for the rest of the day. I couldn’t believe what had happened. Cruel treatment from women is ten times worse than from men. It made me feel like an insignificant, unworthy little mouse. I felt so small and vulnerable. I couldn’t believe that this girl was so horrible to me, and I thought that it was because she viewed me as a loser. That was the first experience of female cruelty I endured, and it traumatized me to no end. It made me even more nervous around girls, and I would be extremely weary and cautious of them" (page 32 of My Twisted World)
