Month: June 2020

School is ending in about a week so this is going to be my last post for a little. With school coming to a close, it’s sad to think that we spent almost 2 quarters participating in E-learning. I didn’t get to build anything in technology this year like everyone else. Its okay though, because I learned very valuable things about materials like plastic and metal. I hope that I could put this knowledge to greater use in the future. Although summer is starting, its going to be a bit depressing over the summer. Without camp, my summer is shaken up. Luckily for me, like I mentioned in my last post, I will be spending the month of August in The Hamptons. And, recently my camp has announced ways that they are able to bring us up to camp this summer. My bunk is planning a short trip to LBI together, with the family camp BBQ, and a possible 4 night stay at camp with our families, it seems my summer won’t be lacking as much camp as I thought. I am very excited for camp activities and the types of things we start to do when summer rolls around. Barbecues with family friends, sleepovers with friends on any day, swimming, and unlimited free time. Although coronavirus may rain on my parade of those activities, I’m psyched for a unique summer.

My summer has been destroyed because of the coronavirus pandemic. Many sleep away camps had been closed because of the harsh guidelines given by the Pennsylvania governor. My camp was still holding out hope though. Out of all Pennsylvania camps, my camp had been one of the few to not announce closing… yet. Well, I guess you can see where this is going. One morning, the news hit. A long, heartbreaking video and email from the director. Watching the video, where one of the owners started to cry broke me and I think everyone else watching. You really don’t know camp until you go there. It is the best place on earth hands down. I get through the 10 long months of school, just so I can spend the next 2 at my happy place. Anyways, my family has been driving each other mad being stuck at our home. We decided we needed a change in scenery. So we would rent a house in the Hamptons. Sadly, we were a little late to the party. About 90% of rentals had been already rented and we had been left with the worst candies in the bag. Luckily for us, any house in the Hamptons is amazing so the worst, is still nice and has some great assets. We ended up with a house in Westhampton with an insane backyard. Yes, the house may be a bit lackluster, but it still fits our criteria. Everyone has their own room and bathroom, TVs, biggish rooms, an office space. Although I would rather be at camp in a heartbeat, I am very grateful to spend my summer in the Hamptons, and I am going to make the best of the situation I’m in, which is not bad at all.
