The Camp Monroe fixation continues...

Disclaimer: Since this was post was published, the definition on urbandictionary.com that I linked to has been since changed. So for those of you who erroneously think I authored the original definition which did refer to the Camp Monroe same sex showering society (which I personally find hilarious):

Get. Off. My. Back.

Now, back to the original post:

And obviously I'm not the only former constituent that has been permanently scarred by their stay at this illustrious summer camp and Chef Henry . The feelings are such that the place has carved its little place into the tree of modern lexicon.

My jaw did drop indeed when I read this. A secret same-sex showering society? Maybe I got out of there better than I thought!

You need help,and quick. Camp Monroe has been a place where friends have met and stayed friends for more than 40 years. You obviously didn't belong there in the first place,and if you have nothing else to do but post this sick message on the internet,you must not have much of a life...get help.

Help is something you need, I went to Camp Monroe for 10 full Summers and my most rewarding experiences have come from those summers. Things that have helped me grow in all areas of my life. My oldest friend to this day is someone from camp that I met at nine and now I am 39 and will most likely send all three of my children there. Find somewhere else in your life that caused your problems. It was certainly not Camp Monroe.

so glad all the responses give the real meaning of camp...every camp has a "chef henry" or many like him...thats what makes camp the unique place it is...my friends when we get together usually laugh when henrys name gets brought up, unfortunateywhen you try to explain camp to a non-camp person it is virtually impossible...my wife cannot understand when i get weekly or thrice weekly calls from my camp friends or kids i was group leader of(38 yrs old ???!!!) fortunatlely been to over 30 bar-mitzvah, sweet 16 and weddings of former campers..i may go to the other extreme, but when i see my 7 yr old jsut go wild in the 8-10 times we go to visit each sumer, i feel like a million bucks....by the way, i am planning a spring (maybe at camp!!) reunion at camp and have in initial talks have over 100 people wild over the idea...maybe our writer wants to come to visit camp...non-facetiosly i would be happy to show her henry's old room...maybe there are ghosts, fingers or knives(and she wouldn't have to wear a name tag to remain anonymous...look for a camp monroe website for an incredible day/night

You have problems. Camp Monroe is the best place in the world. I have met so many great people there. It's not slutty, its a great place to make friends and have a fun time.

Why do you feel it's important to blame a wonderfull place like Camp Monroe for your personal bullshit? You obviously avoided the wonderfull benefits of camp that have touched hundreds of people. We remain family,friends and loyal to the place where we all met. Get help quick,and learn that you made a pretty big mistake,missing out on the Camp Monroe experiance.
