WEBVTT - Sleepaway Camp 

0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Now she comes back Thursday, so she's gone for like

0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:04.040
<v Speaker 1>four days, five days.

0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:06.080
<v Speaker 2>But I am so nervous about this.

0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:08.360
<v Speaker 3>Is different than a sleep away camp.

0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:09.600
<v Speaker 2>No, it is. It's sleep away.

0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:12.200
<v Speaker 3>So you said she never wanted to go though, right.

0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:13.800
<v Speaker 2>That's why I'm nervous for her.

0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:15.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh okay, Yeah.

0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Because well, her stepsister and some of her friends are going,

0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>and so we you know, we encouraged her to try it.

0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:26.239
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 1>So I am wondering if I'm going to get a

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 1>phone call on Monday night, Mom, please come pick me up,

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:35.239
<v Speaker 1>and this is out of state. Oh, I would be

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:37.519
<v Speaker 1>in the car so dying fast. No, I mean, honestly,

0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I would. I would want her to stay and try

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>it for a day, yeah, at least. Yeah, But I'm

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:44.919
<v Speaker 1>hoping she'll be okay. But I know that there are

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>definitely kids that it's just not their thing. And then

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 1>I have friends whose kids go for two months.

0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:53.200
<v Speaker 2>To camp and they don't want to come home.

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 3>All my neighbors would send their kids away to camp

0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 3>for the entire summer. I'm not lying to you when

0:00:59.920 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 3>I say this to you. They would get out of

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:06.479
<v Speaker 3>school on June the eleventh, and by June the eighteenth,

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 3>those kids were up north at Camp Michigania Camp and

0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 3>they well they were also there were also all my

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.760
<v Speaker 3>friends that were like, hey, let's have a party night tonight.

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:20.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, we still have our kids, our kids. Chelsea

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:22.840
<v Speaker 3>was not about sending kids away to camp y like

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:24.600
<v Speaker 3>she was like, this is my time to spend time

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 3>with them. So yeah, but.

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 4>Remember crying, like every time my mom would be like

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 4>you have camp this week. I'm like, I don't want

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 4>to go to camp. She would have to bribe me

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 4>with toys every time, like, if you make it the

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 4>whole week, I'll get you a brat style.

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:39.720
<v Speaker 3>So our kids probably did the same camps that you did. Then.

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 3>So Joe, Jacob and Luke did like the camp in

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.399
<v Speaker 3>Walled Lake or whatever the you know, wherever the deal is,

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 3>like Camp and Howl or something or something.

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Did they spend the dame.

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 3>No, they would. They would go on a bus every

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 3>day and we'd have to go pick up and it

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 3>was like a rinky dinky linky you know bus, like

0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 3>where the bus was barely like running, and then you know,

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 3>they would have to go there and then they play

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 3>all day and do all this stuff and then they

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 3>come home but Luke hated it.

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was not my thing.

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 5>Camp always seemed fun. My parents would never see me.

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 5>I used to watch Nickelodeon where they had salute your

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.520
<v Speaker 5>shorts and camp on camp on.

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 4>That's like not I feel like an accurate description of camp.

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.359
<v Speaker 5>But that was that was my I've had to live

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.920
<v Speaker 5>vicariously through that. The only closest thing I got was

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 5>vacation Bible School.

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 3>That was, yeah, Bible School. I actually liked.

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.799
<v Speaker 5>The Casa Bible School used to be living Jesus Camp. Yeah,

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 5>especially at my grandma church.

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.640
<v Speaker 3>They held it. Don't uh when you do vacation Bible School.

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:37.079
<v Speaker 3>Did you ever get in trouble? Because one of the

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 3>most famous phone scams we ever did was when we

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 3>phone scammed the mom saying that her kid was swearing

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.840
<v Speaker 3>at vacation Bible School. I just love that one. A

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:48.119
<v Speaker 3>four four Mojo Live A four four six six five

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.520

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 3>to know from you your camp story and hear you

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:58.080
<v Speaker 3>know about did you have to like get picked up

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.919
<v Speaker 3>in the middle of the night or any crazy stuff.

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:08.520
<v Speaker 3>Hagnant that's what happened, well, but but you hear the

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 3>stories about kids first experiences, you know, and then don't

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.400
<v Speaker 3>ever mention because she said she went to the same

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 3>camp that.

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:17.920
<v Speaker 6>So.

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:23.799
<v Speaker 3>Camp camp counsels begetting together to oh, yeah, those guys are,

<v Speaker 3>what's up, Amanda High?

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 7>Good morning.

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 8>So I am very much like Lucy uh.

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:32.800
<v Speaker 7>And I was an only child, so it was very

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:33.920
<v Speaker 7>touch to my parents.

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 8>Even still I don't really like sleeping away from home,

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 8>but some at some point in like fourth grade, I

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 8>got this kick about wanting to go to this summer

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 8>camp that some of my friends were going to and

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 8>it was probably like two or three hours away.

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 7>From like where I lived, and my.

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:55.440
<v Speaker 8>Parents let me go.

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 7>But she told me, like later after I had grown up,

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 7>that the first two nights they stayed at a hotel

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 7>near the camp because they didn't think I was going

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 7>to make it for the first day.

0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:08.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, honestly that's smart though, right, I don't know.

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, that's the thing was they like the camp, they

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 8>wouldn't let us call, you know, the first day or so,

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 8>because like.

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 3>That, which is smart.

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.159
<v Speaker 4>I saw every single night.

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 3>One of our one of our friends kids went to

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:28.360
<v Speaker 3>a camp that was like five hours away up by

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.039
<v Speaker 3>like Macinaw or whatever, and they got a phone call

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 3>day number two that they had to come back up

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.280
<v Speaker 3>and pick him up because he got head lice.

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.839
<v Speaker 2>They normally check you before, yeah.

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 3>And so they were like they were. He basically spent

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 3>like one full day alone in it, you know, by himself,

0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.359
<v Speaker 3>but then they had to drive. Honestly, I would have

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 3>been so pissed about having to drive the ten hours

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:54.839
<v Speaker 3>to and from within a day or so. Where do

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:56.479

<v Speaker 8>My my first experience of camp, well, my only experience

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 8>was sixth grade camp, and I never wanted to go

0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:53.200

<v Speaker 3>you come back. I remember the parents all in the

0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:08.720
<v Speaker 3>parking lot at Scotch School picking up the kids, crying

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 3>when the kids were getting off of the.

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Bus, and they were happy to see them.

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:13.720
<v Speaker 3>They were so happy to see them. Like the parents

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 3>had a hard time with it, But that could you

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:19.000
<v Speaker 3>imagine having to be a little what are you like

0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 3>when then you're that age eleven, twelve or something like that,

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 3>and you, yeah, you end up having something like that.

0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:26.000
<v Speaker 3>Do they have somebody there to help you?

0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 8>Like the camps like counselors and stuff were awesome, But

0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.760
<v Speaker 8>the worst part was was that you could.

0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 7>Not call home.

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:39.080
<v Speaker 8>Oh no, there was no option to call home, Like

0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.559
<v Speaker 8>your parents were told ahead of time to like write

0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 8>a letter and send it like a week or two before,

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 8>and that was the only thing that you got for communication.

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 3>I got to make an exception. That's crazy, Angela, what's happening?
