Sleep Away Camp As Told Through Emojis

Because this is what all the cool kids are doing these days.

1. Getting on the bus

Nerve wracking for first timers, exciting for the more experienced campers.

2. Arriving at camp

The day we've all been waiting for! If you live 10 of 2, you get it.

3. Swim period

Better hope this isn't the first activity on your schedule! And if your camp only has a lake, good luck on those cold summer days.

4. Performing on stage

Talent shows, MTV nights, and musicals, there are endless opportunities to showcase your talent at camp!

5. Arts and Crafts

Where you can make anything from tie dye t-shirts to signs for you and all your bunk mates. If you don't come home with a stack of friendship bracelets up your arm, then you're doing something wrong.

6. Bunk pizza party

What a motivator to do well on inspection. And to make friends with campers who have summer birthdays.

7. SING!

I bet you think your division was the best... but realistically mine was, so....

8. When your friends sing about you in the dining hall

QUIET PLEASE. DEDICATED TO...

9. Visiting Day

So much junk food, so little time. We know you're bound to be craving the strangest of items by the time visiting day rolls around, from sushi to penne alla vodka. But of course, the cookie cake will be the number one requested item, to share with your bunkmates (and counselors, wink wink) of course.

10. Staying up all night

You know those endless conversations that go on all night. Often until the sun rises.

11. Shower hour

Basically a race to shower before the hot water runs out.

12. Canteen and BBQs

Treats on treats on treats.

13. Lake time!

Trampoline, inflatable climbing wall, kayaking, tubing, water skiing, the possibilities are endless! Lake time at camp is the best!

14. Going on a raid

Whether it be the canteen, the kitchen, or the boys, you better hope you don't get caught!

15. Co-ed socials

Getting glammed up for all the boys. Without a flat iron, of course.

16. When you get mail or a package

Only in camp will getting a hand written letter feel so special. Great to hear about your parent's dinner plans last night, and your best friend's first kiss.

17. Meals in the dining hall

We want, we want, chicken, from the kitchen. And grilled cheese. And fries. And mac and cheese. Anything carby and greasy, really.

18. COLOR WAR

1, 2, 3, 4, WE WANT COLOR WAR! 5, 6, 7, 8, WE DON'T WANNA WAIT!!!!!!

19. Saying goodbye

Undeniably the hardest part of the summer.

20. Going home

Already counting down the days until next summer! The camp sickness is already kicking in- the struggle is real :(
