Day One of Summer Camp
Dara and I followed a winding dirt road through the Blue Ridge
Mountains in Georgia, cutting sharp corners and losing our cell phone
reception in the process. A ways up, the trees parted to make room for a
massive overhead sign that read Welcome to Camp Carl Cove. The dirt road
widened until it transformed into a parking lot, where rows of cars had
already begun lining up.
“Are we really doing this?” I asked, nervous.
“We’re absolutely doing this,” Dara confirmed, no trace of hesitation in
her voice.
As kids, Dara and I had always wanted to live the camp life, where for a
few weeks of each summer, you left your home behind and hid away in the
woods to become someone new. There was a show about summer camp on
Disney Channel that we were obsessed with, Bug Juice, that only fueled the
fantasy. We spent night after night dreaming of that kind of escape, sleeping
in log cabins and cannonballing into a cold lake, free from our everyday
problems. If there was mold in the corners of those cabins, it wouldn’t be
our job to scrub it. If the adults there were angry at one another, we
wouldn’t be the ones tasked with lightening their moods or offering them
advice. We would be kids in the most wholesome sense. The kind of kids
you only saw on TV.
Our parents never entertained the idea of sending Dara and me away,
though by the way they treated us, constantly frustrated by our mere
presence, they should have been eager for a chance to be child-free for a
while. We’d grown up in hot, dry Arizona, and the closest Dara and I ever
got to the escape we longed for was when our oldest sister, Bess—who
turned sixteen the year I was born and moved out when I was two—would
come around the house and take us to a lumberjack-themed mini-golf place
