"This camp had better have a power port!"

"Ahhh... close enough."

'Remember only you can prevent forest fires.'

Support Group for a Good Problem

I have an idea - Let's sit around the campfire and watch scary movies on our iPads!

I can't decide. Should I go to soccer camp 3 weeks in a row? Or soccer, then baseball then lacrosse camp? 3 soccers. Isn't overspecializing at his age bad? Possibly. But 3 different sports means�buying 3 different sets of expensive equipment. Right, He does have a mean corner kick.

"Alright! Whoa! Yes! More boiled food!"

"All right, boys, we're had our fun."

"It takes a few days for them to detox from screens."

I think it's so cute when the kids camp out in the backyard.

"Can we set the flame to a medium high?"

"But Mom, how can it be a vacation when you're taking me to school?"

"See, dear, it's only an owl hooting...."

'Aren't these marshmallows just going to make us plumper for when the bears ultimately eat us?'

"Sure, this camp has swimming, games, fishing, horseback riding and rock climbing. But, does it have Wi-Fi?"

It was a good idea to let the kids bring their friends...

'...a variety of local wildlife very close to the campsite.'

'I'm not riding with her and that jar of creepy crawlers!!'

You're too old to go back to Camp Owonsit. That's ok. It's all little kids. How about Lake Kinepesakau Camp. It's all jocks. Your son needs an enriching summer experience. Thoughts? How about � Camp Workforaliving? It's all depressing adults.

Remember to lash from the outside!

"I've got a bad feeling about this."

"Mine's camper."

"You need to make room for the dirty laundry."
