"Camp"

The flier below arrived at our door the other day. Couldn't help but think of this quote by Richard Louv in Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder:

Not that long ago, summer camp was a place where you camped, hiked in the woods, learned about plants and animals, or told firelight stories about ghosts or mountain lions. As likely as not today, "summer camp" is a weight-loss camp, or a computer camp. For a new generation, nature is more abstraction than reality.
