Summer Camp Stories

Former Cabinmates Steven and Camil go back 15 years a remember the journey Camil took to becoming a counselor, why 1950's basketball would confuse him, a gift of sugar cookies that he believed was a prank, and which favorite Camp guest remembered him when he went on to work at Camp Echo.

Steven and Tim reconnect for the first time in almost 18 years (besides that time one of Stevens kids called Tim) and talk Bob's famous pre-camp pitch, the trouble with the wall ball wall, what animals they dressed as in 2003 and why we would run to the far hockey rink for, mostly, no reason whatsoever.

Steven and Ashley talk about their time at Camp together and recall which item of food at the Quickway Diner astonished Ashley, how she felt about being called up to Kangaroo Court, her friends from Lindenmere and which multi-camp legend made the favorite songs list.

Steven and 'Wales' send the clock back 20 years and talk about their jobs as specialists in their first summers, a new career Nick has recently started, a New York Premier showing of 'Spiderman' at Camp, meeting X-Pac at a VIP experience in NYC, and what essential item you must take with you on a trip to Canada.

Steven brings 'Oppy' and 'Zippy' back together for the first time in 13 years and we talk about a HUGE victory at Camp Monroe, what Oppy would leave behind if he could go back to camp, who used to use the bus rides to place bets on the horses and where Zippy will visit for the 'first' time in history at next years reunion.

Steven and B-Rey reconnect about the Pre-Camp pitch that enticed him to Camp early, which of his camp friends he remains connected to, which item he would take to camp and how Steven accidentally destroy his version of that item, and, in a Summer Camp Stories first, we are gatecrashed by two former Campers who share some of their favorite moments with B-Rey.

Steven and Kris chat about his baptism of fire at the Camp Fair in London, the incredible Teen Tour of Disney World and the Bahamas that they chaperoned, the secret rooms and depths of the Cruise Ship, yelling scouse abbreviations at strangers in crowds and which staff member he promises to reconnect with first.

Steven and Charlie reminisce about Lynne's (now legendary) Tesco BBQ story, how much we enjoyed going to baseball games, the incredible stage shows throughout the years, including GREASE and which evening event 'superstar' reminds her of her husband. 

Steven and Bernard take a trip down memory lane and discuss the Rope Burning contest, the 'put it on your face' chant during Simon Says, why one of his counselors wore a paper bag over his head on the last night, and the unfortunate (and hilarious) consequence he received for ordering wings from Tanos.

Steven and Rich think back to our time at camp and remember the poshest activity we ever did together. We talk about a useless drill, what Stevens Nan had in common with Artie, an incident with a cherry bomb and what Rich still says every sunny morning.
