- I’m sweating so much. I. Didn’t. Know. I. Could. Sweat. So. Much.
- Long-time camp staff where do you get all of this energy from?? Teach me your ways.
- It’s 7:55 a.m. Is that taps or tattoos?
- Campers, pleeeeeeease just help clean the bunk. It’s not fair, I know.. but life’s not fair.
- You’re telling me that the whole camp eats lunch at the same time??

- Kids…. for the 1500th time. Please go to bed!!
- Ahhh!! Tomorrow is a new day.
- Wow today was much better!
- Yay! The campers wrote their parents and said they liked their counselors… cha-ching!
