Back in the Day...

Back in the day before my old church camp went all fancy things were different.No pool, no fancy buildings, no climbing wall, no BMX track. Just a bunch of WWII pre-fab buildings, some fields and a some trees. We had to make due with what we had and boy oh boy did we do some crazy stuff- things you just can't get away with these days. Things like having a bunch of 11-12 year old boys blindfold their counselor, put him behind the wheel of the camp station wagon as they pile in the back and then yell directions to him as he drives through a field filled with utility posts, only to take him out of the car, stuff him in a giant tractor tire and roll him down a hill. Nope, you just can't do that anymore.

Those were the days...

And if you injure enough kids, it keeps them from causing mischief on the streets!!! there's a bright side to everything.....forgive me, drunk again.....

Tires, man... They need to bring tires back into use for playgrounds and swings. The playground equipment these days sucks. Remember back in the day when your school's playground consisted of 4x4 posts, chains, and tires? Danger, man. It's what makes playing fun.

Sounds more like Juvenile Hall gone awry. Actually, your camp sounds a lot like the one I went to (without the blatant disregard for life or limb, of course.)
