When I was younger I often attended a summer camp. My favorite one had lots of outdoor activities such as archery and swimming. Have you been to summer camp?
Yeah, I went to Camp Ondessonk, a rustic outdoor catholic youth camp. You?
I was at Camp Okeechobee, which was on a lake in the woods. My favorite part was roasting marshmallows and telling stories around the campfire.
I liked Camp Ondessonk, it was a "last frontier" of sorts
That sounds like a fun place. Did you have cabins or tents at the camp? I much prefer cabins with electricity but have also gone to a tent camp.
We generally used canvas tents out there in the Shawnee National Forest
That truly is rustic. Did you have to cook your own food or was there a mess tent? That reminds me of my time in the Boy Scouts!
We cooked ourselves. If you wanted a prepared meal, you had to head into Eddyville, the nearest town
What kind of activities did you do in the camp? Were there any wild animals nearby?
We primarily focused on emulating ancient Israelite cuisine, lots of bread, olive oil, legumes and fruits
