10 Signs That Your Camp is a Disaster

Most children enjoy going to summer camp. It’s a lot of fun to go swimming, play basketball, do art projects, go on hikes, go canoing and have campfires. However, some camps are not very fun at all.

  1. The head counselor has a whistle around his neck, looks as red as a tomato, and loves to scream at the top of his lungs
  2. The breakfast is an eye opener. Strange objects are found floating in your cereal. The orange juice tastes like watered down orange drink. The eggs are soggy. The toast is moldy. The silverware does not look clean.
  3. Your mattress looks one hundred years old and feels like it is one hundred years old
  4. Your roommates only talk about allergies, illnesses, and insect bites
  5. The mosquitoes are as big as eagles and just as deadly
  6. The swimming area has a sign warning you to swim at your own risk. The basketball court has hoops without netting. That’s all right since all the basketballs are deflated anyway.
  7. The bathroom showers do not work. The toilets do not flush. The garbage has not been picked up for over a month.
  8. The staff spends their time talking with each other. They ignore the campers unless there is an emergency. The highlight of the day is taking a five-minute walk around the campgrounds.
  9. The head counselor demands that you do 500 sit-ups, 50 pushups, and 100 jumping jacks before you even have a chance to eat your breakfast
  10. The hiking trail has poison ivy on both sides. Swarms of mosquitoes follow your every step. Fire ants await your presence. If you’re lucky, you’ll only be scratching yourself for a month.

    Doesn’t sound like fun at all.
