What is your favorite thing to do at camp?

---

 Some of my favorites are playing basketball on the big court, paddle boarding on the lake and hanging out in the gazebo.

The first thing that comes to mind for this one is the trick of turning your pillow case inside out to put the case on your pillow easier. Although this may seem like a small, funny thing to think of, it is just a microcosm of the simple things you learn at camp that you will use later in life.

I think my campers would most likely say basketball because I always play with them a lot, but I’d hope they would say something cooler like cards or being a good counselor.

I am looking forward to everything this summer! When I think of camp I always get excited for the group things, such as meals together, talent shows or all camp events. I love when the whole camp gets to do something and we can be together as a community.

The most magical moment each summer to me is at the beginning of the relay during olympics. For about a minute the whole entire camp is silent for the only time all summer. You could seriously hear a pin drop. Everyone is anxious and nervous, even the counselors not competing. It seems like it takes forever, but the ringing of the bell finally breaks the silence and true electricity is in the air. It never fails to give me goosebumps.

I think I have two favorite camp traditions. This is an especially hard one considering this camp is built on traditions. One would have to be all of us gathering for council ring twice each day. Being together never ceases to amaze me and I love hearing the news of the day. Another is the last night of camp when each waiter walks through each bunk and says goodbye to every single camper and counselor. It really helps incapsulate not only their incredible impact on the camp/summer, but also the small/random/intricate connections made between the most random of people; whether that be a waiter and a counselor three years older or a waiter and a fun house kid.

Not everyone believes in this concept, but I am a true believer in having a little mat or rug in your area by your bedside. I think it is a nice way to keep your area clean and allows for you to make it a little more homey.

Everything at camp is special, but I love basketball, hockey, sailing, and hanging out on the slopes.

I grew up at camp, and it has shaped me into the person I am today. Since my first summer in 2010, camp has taught me how to make life-long friends and take care of myself.

I like to think that they would say I am fun and bring out the good vibes in everyone.

The relationships we make at Baco are why we go back every summer.

Every summer, watching the waiters run into the crib after the relay is awesome. But being able to do it yourself is truly magical.

The banquet speeches, the final campfire, and the burning are on my long list of favorites. Even though these traditions are always filled with tears, they remind us how special the Baco family is.

I think ultimate frisbee, frisbee golf, and a casual frisbee toss are some of the most underrated activities at camp. As the summer moves on, people start to realize this, and frisbees become very valuable. I will be packing two of them this summer. Thanks for reading and I hope you’re excited for the best summer yet!
