Summer Camp
Cabins, campfires, canoes, and your first camp crush.
The screen door slams behind you as you dash toward the shimmering lake, the scent of pine and campfire smoke swirling in the warm summer air. You’re surrounded by laughter, the strum of guitars, and the echo of splashes as friends race canoes. For a few short weeks, this is your universe—filled with bunk beds, friendship bracelets, and those heart-fluttering moments of camp crushes. Long before social media, camp was where we forged lifelong memories, gathered around campfires, and belted out tunes from the likes of John Denver and the Eagles. Each song became the soundtrack to our adventures—“Take Me Home, Country Roads” a nostalgic call to home, while “Summer of '69” captures the essence of youth and freedom. This issue celebrates that magical time when cabins, campfires, canoes, and friendship defined our summer experience, weaving together the threads of youth and nostalgia that still resonate today.
