The pickup and drop off procedures/times are so deeply relatable. There is a woman who directs the traffic in the pickup line at my kid's camp who strikes TERROR into me daily. Run afoul of her traffic pattern at your OWN PERIL.
Katherine I’m literally laughing so hard I’m crying, the 🤣 emoji doesn’t even begin to do it justice. Maybe a side hustle in standup is in your future?!! Clearly the well meaning but somewhat clueless people who run these camps have never been on the receiving end of these emails.
This is so accurate. And the opposite end of the spectrum is the no communication camps where you have just a whisper of info on your original sign up confirmation email. From Feb 1
Oh the rules are just as intense, but they are simply not communicated. And you might feel like you imagined that a week of camp was scheduled, perhaps even checking your bank account to confirm it was purchased, but where or when to arrive is a mystery. Very tough for an anxious person managing 3 kids’ schedules!
So realistic I had to double check the sender 😂 and my kid’s main camp option this summer is linked to a Jewish community center so we are asked to send a kosher lunch everyday (they run an amazing camp program and we LOVE it, though we are not Jewish so I need to double check kosher guidelines every summer 😀)
I started laughing at "a lock of hair of every person in your household" and didn't stop until the very end. Tears shimmered in my eyes as I pressed 'copy link' for every mother I know who is working this summer and facing the Summer Camp Hustle. BRAVO!
I got this post the same day I got the real camp info. Reading on my phone, I thought I would really have to send my kid to camp with body glitter. Hahahahaha. Well done Katherine!
and i hope you all have noted that this newsletter is too long, just as these emails are also too long.
😂😂😭😭😭 what got you, was it the organic rat poison?
It was the kinetic sand lol
100 percent read this assuming it was from my 6 year old's camp and did not clock that it was satire until VERY FAR IN.
Same!

I have never had that experience… I envy you

Ugh this also sounds like a nightmare
I’ve had this experience! You wonder, are they still in business? Do we just show up day 1?
Literally checked my bank records this morning . . . I DID register for Blast Camp next week but the details remain unknown!
YES. THIS.
I LOLed at this!
Bahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 “all details change every week”
TOO SOON, the trauma is still fresh ;)

Texting all my friends the link and dying laughing.
