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.

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.

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.

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 😀)

That’s great that you’re embracing the kosher guidelines for your kid’s camp lunch! Hope they have a fantastic summer at the camp.

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!

I listened to the audio version I get as a Double Shift member, but I still had to hop over here to say *chef's kiss* - hilarious and spot on and I hope at least one camp director gets it forwarded to them and takes the not-so-subtle feedback.
