The summer between my freshman and sophomore years of high school, I went away for 4 weeks to a Youth Conservation Camp in the Northwest region of Wisconsin, in a teeny tiny little town called Minong. Before I went, I was terrified that I wouldn’t make any friends or that I would hate it and all I would want to do is come back home.
I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Those 4 weeks were some of the best times ever. I made life long friends and when it came time to come home at the end, I didn’t want to leave.
Over the years, I have tried to keep in touch with friends that I made at camp and unfortunately, it hasn’t been that easy. If I didn’t remain in constant contact with someone from my camp days, it has become much harder to track them down over 15 years later.
I recently began searching for a few of the old campers using MyLife.com and it has provided me with a few leads. I am hoping that eventually, it will lead me to enough people that we can organize a little reunion.
Fingers crossed that as I continue to search the internet I am able to locate some fellow campers!
Do you use the internet or another web service to help you reconnect?
