Can summer camp change your life?
I think it can. It did for me.
I went to the best summer camp in the world (the pictures to the right are by the now-famous but then teenaged Jill Greenberg). Most of what I know, I learned there.
This summer, you could send your kids to a video editing camp where they would learn a skill for life. Or you could find a barcamp or even be invited to a foocamp. It would make a change if you wanted it to.
Why?
It’s voluntary. It’s intentional (you go for a change). You become part of a tribe of fellow travelers, other people in a hurry to go where you’re going to. Conferences aren’t like this, and neither are meetings. School, at its best can achieve this, but it’s rare.
If you can’t go to a camp, maybe you should start one?
