Summer Camp Culture | A blog where summer camp and pop culture collide

Here's some information about this blog and the editor himself in his own words: "About the blog Since Oct. 30, 2010, the Summer Camp Culture blog has collected pop cultural artifacts depicting and celebrating the life and culture of the summer camp, which is defined in these pages as a place children and young adults attend typically in the summer time, in the woods, in cabins or tents with things like mosquitoes, s'mores, canoes, capture the flag and Color Wars (sorry, cheerleading camp in your high school gymnasium doesn’t count). About the editor My name is Matt Ralph. I attended summer camps in Ohio, Maryland and New Jersey growing up and continue to be involved as a volunteer for a summer camp in southern New Jersey. A former newspaper reporter, I live in Media, Pa., with my lovely wife and work in the marketing department of a college near Philadelphia. In addition to loving summer camp and pop culture, I am an avid soccer (Arsenal), baseball (Cubs) and college basketball (Jayhawks) fan and love to read, write and listen to This American Life. I've lived in Kansas, New Jersey, Indiana, Delaware, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Louisville, Ky., Chicago, Ill., and London, England. Please note: Not all material mentioned on this site is suitable for children. In fact, often times summer camp experiences inspire depictions in popular culture no camp counselor or camp director who wants to keep their job would ever condone or endorse. A mention on this site does not mean we condone or endorse these depictions either or that we recommend showing the TV program or movie to your children or campers."
