Summer Camp For as far back as I can remember, Every time I think about summer, I think more specifically of one thing. my camp. Every summer of my life, me and the rest of my family, including Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins, have always spent lots of time at this place.
The first day we went up, I can always remember the smell of burning fires, and couldnt wait until I could toast the first marshmallow of the summer. The first thing we would do on a hot summer day was run down to the lake, and swim for what seemed like hours and hours.
The adults would lay on the beach bathing in the sun, and us kids would play all kinds of water games until we got tired. When it was time to go back to the camp, everyone would gather their things and get ready for the walk back.

The longest trail led to a place that we all called the sand pits.
