Dear Former Campers:
Do you recall your glory days at summer camp as some of the best months of your life? Was your camp experience
When you think about camp, what are your best memories?
- singing "If I Had a Hammer" around the campfire
- winning color war two years in a row
- getting to third base with your camp crush
Open
Camp Camp and head back to the one place on earth where appropriated Native American terminology, competitive sports, social hierarchy, and libido-soaked nights lived in wholesome harmony. Here is your trip down memory lane, a trip so beautifully illustrated and fully remembered that you can almost smell the pine of the cabins when you open the pages.
Camp Camp is a love letter to camp, a chance to relive every Champion sweatshirt-wearing, accidental-bed-wetting, sky-hook-wedgie-receiving, tie-dye-making golden moment via hundreds of photographs and stories straight from the source, including tall tales from AJ Jacobs, Rachel Sklar, Paul Feig, David Wain, Jamie Denbo, and Rodney Rothman.
Do you miss...
- camp friendships
- camp freedom
- camp fun?
If so, then
Camp Camp is your one-way ticket back to this magical world in which
Fantasy Island met
Lord of the Flies.
