Hi i’m kyson I am blogging today and hope you don’t mind my ranting, ravey sort of writing style.   So today I spent the earlier parts of my day as any before it had gone. I woke up and ate breakfast, not a unique experience but one that would’ve been considerably more somber if […]

Once I became something at midnight, and I didn’t forgive the animals. How did I dead the bird with sharp fangs.  Unfortunately, I haven’t ever eaten me another […]

I woke up in the field to Bet singing & playing ukulele, cold but feeling good, and glad I gave sleeping in the field another chance this session.

An introduction before I begin: Hello, my name is Rylee (They/She). I’m a first year camper from the Chicago land area and I don’t think of myself much of a writer. But here we go. Starting my day I was a bit panicked as I had woken up later than I had intended and still […]

Hi my name is Adacus, 14 years old. Day five of camp was quite an amazing day. Today was skirt day, where most people who were able to acquire a skirt wore one for the day. I was able to borrow one from my close friend and wear it for the whole day. We started […]
