F is for friends who do stuff together

The greatest thing that someone who went to camp will gain are lifelong friendships. I know that it sounds corny and cheesy that you will meet your best friends, but it is so true. Your camp friends are so much more different than home friends. I'm not saying home friends aren't awesome and great too, but its a whole different relationship. With your camp friends, you are sleeping in closed quarters with them, you live together, you do every activity together 24/7. It is like having a slumber party every night, but with your brothers/sisters.
The bond you have with these friends is irreplaceable. My best friends in the world have been my camp friends. We have been through so much together and know everything about each other that it is hard not to be close with them.
This picture is me and my friends when I was eight years old at camp. Ten years later, and these girls are my support system and closet friends. 
Many of my camp friends do not live close to me, so we were always worried that during the year we would lose touch. But that is not the case. You become so close that you just call these people up and talk the night away. Because many camp friends do not live near you, it makes you work harder at your friendship so you do stay in touch. 

Camp friends = best friends
