Post First time applicant will definitely be reapplying
I just wanted to dispell any doubts that first timers may have about doing camp, and tell you it's an immense experience. I can speak for my camp because facilities were incredible, there's a beautiful lake, amazing sports facilities but as if that weren't enough! There are also many brilliant people, both International and American and it's so easy to have a good summer! The kids could be hard work but it's such a good laugh and time off is good and much more than I expected. So, if next summer you wind up at Camp Equinunk in Pennsylvania- you will undoubtedly be in for the summer of your life! Just a note also- if you go to camp with a boyfriend/girlfriend at home you will get homesick and it detracts from having an even better summer so I would not advise that you do so!

Great to hear you've had such a fantastic summer at Camp Equinunk!

What was your job at camp, and are you returning next year?

Where did your after camp travels (if you did any) take you?

For me that process doesn't start for 8 more days maybe 9 depending on how tired I am after traveling for about 30 hours to get home.

Glad you had a great time but I do not agree with your last point. I'm not dumping my boyfriend just because I am going to camp, that would be completely stupid IMO. The fact you have a boyfriend/girlfriend back home will only be an issue if you let it become an issue. I don't see myself having any problems, I'm sure I can have fun without him (we are in a serious relationship, we live together etc...).
