Hey, ‘Kinz fans. It’s me, Polly. I’m on my way to camp right now. We just got on the bus and everyone seems to be having a really good time, but I’m a little scared. I’ve never been away from home for this long and I don’t know what it’s going to be like sharing a cabin with all those other girls. I hope they’re nice.
I know I’m lucky because I have a member of my family here with me – Amanda is one of the camp counselors. So I guess if I ever feel homesick I can go and talk to her. But she is staying in a cabin with the other counselors and she already told me that camp is going to be really busy for her so I can’t be pestering her all the time.
Amanda always LOVED camp when she was younger. That’s why she became a counselor and she said I can be a counselor too one day. But Amanda and I are really different. What if I don’t like it and I’m stuck there?
Oh, I really don’t know if this whole camp thing was a good idea after all.
It”s ok Polly! Don’t be scared! Just try to make some friends then you’ll be allright. My friends allways help me when i’m scared!
You will be fine, Polly! It is normal to be nervous about new adventures, but I am positive this experience will be a good one for you! Have fun!
Cheer up, Polly! Try to act more optimistic! After all, the rest of the ‘Kinz Crew will be at camp with you. Just go with the flow. If you worry too much, you won’t be able to have fun and enjoy camp. =)

i went to astrocamp with my class it was way up in the mountains 5 or 6 hours away i was scared at first but then when i got there i didnt want to leave! i got really close friends with everybody i went with everybody supported on another and it as the most memorable thing of the school year! :)
I have never been to sleep away camp before, but there are some that are SUPER close to home. I am gonna try it next year.
Same! I have never been to a sleep away camp before but I REALLY want to.
I’m at band camp right now.
I know how you feel. When I was younger I went to a camp with one of my older sisters. Almost everyone there was at least 2 years old than me. I was lonely and scared at the beginning because I didn’t know anyone else there but her. I can’t say that it was all wonderful, but I did my best to participate in the activities and not complain all the time. I learned some cool stuff and ended up having a pretty good time.
Its okay! Try to find something that you enjoy at camp, its fine if you like another activity other than camp, as long as you’re happy! -believetodance
I went to camp when I was 10 with my 8 year old little sister, really far from home! she was so homesick she cried and we didn’t know anyone so we just stuck together and they let her stay in my cabin with me. I felt like I missed out on alot of stuff with my friends when I was gone. I hated it and I never went to camp again
I have to admit that I was the little sister when my big sister and I went to camp…… They put me in my sister’s cabin, and I still cried. ( i was almost 9) She made fun of me, and the camp counseler finally called my parents to come and pick me up. My Dad said I was a “homebody”, and I guess I am~ cuz I never went to camp again and don’t want to. But I am sure that you will have a good time Polly! I guess I’m just different…
I wouldn’t go to camp. Something about being around a lot of people makes me uncomfortable… I freak out. Oh, well :) PEACE & LOVE 4evr $~Addict502~$
I don’t go to camp. I would be way too homesick and my little brother would miss me. I also sleep in a weird way that makes it so I can only sleep with people i’m close to because if they were strangers they would make fun of me. Hearing the word camp even makes me kind of uncomfortable.
Pizza Eating Time p.s. I also talk in my sleep and sleep walk so that would be annoying to strangers
i’ve never been to a sleep away camp (and if i was to i would go with my friends) and all the camps i’ve been to haven’t been like you know outside camps like in the movies? i don’t like being with people i don’t know and a lot of people i don’t know!!! even though you have had bad memories at camp you should try again who knows you may even like it!
I’ve never been to sleepover camp,either! But I think it would be fun!
I go to gymnastics day camp,which is AWESOME!
i go to camp because of the things there- not the people (cause’ I don’t know anyone there always…. well maybe once!) One time (‘few years ago) i went to this camp ,you played a bunch of different sports for a week (it was a day camp) I liked everyone there! even though i knew none of them before this! that was the best time at camp EVER!!!! they were all younger than me exept one who was older and that time was the last time she could go to that camp :( i’ve never been there since but i still remember it! 2 years ago i went to this fencing camp (it was f is for friend who do stuff together, u is for you and me, n is for ny where and any time at allllll!!! :) i’m thinking about go back there this year cause’ i mean fencing… how cool is that?
whoa. i am proud to tell you that I was myfreeworld
I really like camp! This summer I am going to a girl scout camp, so much fun!! Luv From LillyLuvie* :D
P.S. If anone was wondering I used to be Gwenrocks! (even thought my names not Gwen LOL). My name on here was
Gwenrocks. :lol:
I have never been to camp, i kinda want to i kinda dont, i want to bcuz i want to get out the house and do stuff, but then again i want to be with my family and go out with them, but camp sounds fun. /jayjay\
P.S to lillyluvie how do u always remember to do the little LillyLuvie* at the end and how do u do the smileys? I MUST KNOW!!
UHH, these are kinda random. And also, you should be really nervous you can’t trust people at camp. With pranks and all
Right, and then there is the food, at any camp u go to u dont know wat thhey serve and it could be something that’ll make u sick, and then all the insects flying around…i had never realized any of this stuff till now….no camp for me anytime soon! /jayjay\
Now I’m really nervous about the camp I’m going to!
