What do you think you find yourself thinking about the most?  For me it is MDA Summer Camp.  I have had the opportunity to attend camp for three years.  Even before my first year, camp was all I could think about.  That was more because I was extremely nervous.  But since then, it has become excitement and anticipation for the coming year at camp.  The day after camp is the day my countdown for the next year starts.

The main reason I go back to camp every year is because of the love I have for these kids.  They have taught me so much from the short three weeks I have spent with them over the past years.  Explaining the pure joy and excitement these kids have is impossible; you just have to see it for yourself.  I go home from camp every year and try to be half the person these kids are.  Have half the joy, genuineness and love that they have.  Just like Serei said "If you are on the fence about getting involved, you just have to take a leap of faith and do it".  You won't regret the experience you have.  It is, by far, the best week of the year.

 "Back to summer camp, happy land.  I'm gonna catch the spirit if I can!"
