Camp Life
by Lucinda Maison
Can a camp change your life? Drew liked his fine just the way it was. Jake was miserable and knew camp would make it worse. Dara was chasing her life’s dream…or was it someone else’s dream? Camp brought them together, along with others. A challenge, an act of kindness, a simple question, or something else entirely would set change in motion. And then there would be choices to make.Can a camp change your life? Drew liked his fine just the way it was. At almost 15, he would probably be the oldest kid there, and he didn’t plan on wasting any part of summer break paddling a canoe or making lanyards. He would chill and sleep and do whatever he liked. Now, that’s a plan! Jake was in trouble. One of his teachers said he was trouble. His mom was forcing him to go, his dad was long gone, and there was no one he could turn to…or so he thought. Dara was chasing her life’s dream…or was it someone else’s dream? Who wouldn’t want to be in the Olympics, right? But her dad pushed and pushed, and it would be a relief to get away from home for just a little while. There were other kids, different people, different lives, and camp would bring them together. A challenge, an act of kindness, a simple question, or something else entirely would set change in motion. And then there would be choices to make.
