Straight from the Bunk: A Camper's Guide to Packing, Friendships, and First Days

Ever wonder what your daughter is really thinking about camp? For the first episode of Second Session, we handed the microphones over to the experts themselves: the campers! This special episode is an authentic, unscripted conversation about everything from packing lists to making lifelong friends. It’s a must-listen for new and returning families looking for the real inside scoop.
