Summer is a comin'

Summer means one thing to me: Camp. I love camp. Camp is one of the best places in the world. If you went to camp, you understand what I am saying. If you didn't go to camp, I am campphoto.jpgsorry, but you can get a taste in a new book entitled Camp Camp: Where Fantasy Island Meets Lord of the Flies by Roger Bennett and Jules Shell. You can read a brief review of the book online on the USA Today website.

With 300 pictures of camps from around the US, including one of the URJ Henry S. Jacobs Camp in Utica, MS from opeing day in 1984 (right), this book chronicles the lives of campers who came of age in the 80s and 90s. I am looking forward to reading and laughing about this book while I sit in front of the computer this summer longing for song sessions, Color War and camp Shabbat.  If anyone has read it, let me know what you think.
