The well-dressed 4-H camper
When I was a child, I always wanted to go to summer camp. With a family of seven, however, it was never possible.
When my son was 11, I found out about the 4-H camps around North Carolina, where we had just moved. We were both excited to learn that we could actually manage to send him to a one-week “technology camp.”
I packed his shorts, t-shirts, socks, etc. per the recommendations in the material provided to campers. He had a clean outfit for each of the seven days that he would be there.
When I returned seven days later, I was shocked to see that he had on the same clothes that I had dropped him off in. It was obvious that he had worn them the entire time. We rode all the way home with the car windows open.
He swore that he had changed clothes while at camp. He said, “I wore my bathing suit every time we went swimming!”
