Notes on Camp response

Going to camp may be the best thing that happens to young children.  They participate in so many activities and games to create inside jokes with their new, yet best friends, and their life changes from that point on to becoming a "Camp Person" rather than a "Non-Camp Person."  In the episode of Notes on Camp by This American Life, segments titled Mr. Popular and Fear engage the listener by hearing the humorous and exciting tones of the campers.  David, also known as Davey by his small yet obsessed fan club, is the long living camper; he first went to the camp around age eleven, has clear blue eyes, and claims "the best moments of my life are with campers."  This American Life describes the powerful icon; "David is the force, the one people turn to; he is the man." He has set trends, made cheers, and passed along many of the scary legends.  The scary legends, such as the Turtle Man, are said to be true among the worried campers, not faithfully believing where the line of fiction and non-fiction is.  Listening to the eager chants and worried screams illustrates the emotions that the creepy legends create.  Both of the segments, Mr. Popular and Fear, suggests a fun and exciting camp.  The set of campers from both segments were eager to be interviewed and share their opinion of camp.  An underlying statement by many of them: Once a camper, always a camper.
