Introduction I was listening to a podcast called Meditative Story when I couldn't sleep a couple of weeks ago.

I've only been to an overnight summer camp once before. This summer I am attending two and this is what I've been doing to prepare and what I've done for traveling in the past. PACKING I've packed shirts, pants, dresses, shoes, socks, etc., but only what I really need. I don't want to over or under pack.You'll need one pair of plastic flip flops[...]
