If you loved camp, you’re in the right place.
This is a blog about life*after* summer camp.
Here I’ll share with you what it’s like to leave home, meet new people, learn new skills and adapt to life (at least, temporarily) away from friends and family.
Read the very first post here.

Wanna Join a Cool Club?
Camper for Life is a ‘virtual club.’
Our membership is for lifelong happy campers who’ve experienced the joy of going to camp (or working for one) and know first-hand the lifelong value that the camping experience provides kids, tweens and teens.
We’re a group of grateful, productive and happy people and we turn out to be super cool parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, camp counselors, camp directors and friends of campers.
On the street, you might recognize happy campers as successful, well-rounded, well-traveled, educated, independent, healthy and active people. When in doubt, just ask. Did you go to camp, too?
[Warning, happy campers are likely to break out into song when meeting another happy camper!]
As members, we’re better together than we would be on our own. This way, we can share a great message and help to remind familes that all kids should get the same opportunity that we did to experience the joy of camp.
Are you a Camper for Life yet? If not, you’re invited to join the club! Just complete the form on the right.
It’s totally free, and totally easy!
Happy camping,

Do you ever do any metal detecting? I love camping beacuse it get’s me out into Mother
Natures sun and freash air. Plus I never know what I might find.
Hi Matthew! You gotta love Mother Nature. She often gives us unexpected gifts–sometimes in the form of coins and lost jewelry, and other times it’s less tangible, but we end up far richer as a result.
I went to basketball camp one summer. Does that count???
Sweet blog Jill. I’ll be subscribing and following along!
Take care,

Absolutely basketball camp counts! In this Club (of which there are no membership rules), you can be a Camper4Life no matter what kind of camp you attended. Thanks for your compliment, Brent. Welcome aboard!
