For many children in this county, it will be one of those memories that stays with them forever. From the hiking and swimming, crafts and campfires, skits and pranks, these are special summer experiences that most would not have otherwise. If you've had a child go to camp, you know they don't return home exactly the same. They form bonds with each other and often with adults and teen counsellors. Maybe they acted in a skit of the first time, slept away from home, learned a new sport, made a friend or found a new role model, it's all cabins filled with hyper junior highpossible.
