SUMMER CAMP 2013 August 10, 2013. Categories: Music. It's tough to specifically go back and remember all the great moments of Summer Camp. Summer Camp Season 1 (6) IMDb 6.0 2013 13+ In 'Summer Camp,' viewers will meet an eclectic group of 16 adults from all walks of life - from the fanatic hunter to the former nerd-turned-supermodel to the vegan yoga instructor.
This is a throwback story from Summer of 2012. After talking with my friend Savannah Meyers, we both agreed it was time to put this story out there for all to hear. This was one of the, if not the funniest things that happened over the course of Summer 2012. Let me set you up so that you fully understand the story.
Savannah and I had Power and Light Camp. Meaning that we ran most of camp activities during the evenings. (Rise and Shine = 10:30 Bedtime = 1:30 AM) Okay great now you understand that. We had our kids for the same number of days (5) that you have campers regularly.
Our campers were grades 7-9th, We had an amazing group of kids, and aside from threatening to take away manhunt from them for talking and not paying attention during Bible study; they were really great kids!
So Wed. night we had brought them over to the Lake Pavilion and were explaining the rules of ManHunt to them. Now I just want to enter the Disclaimer as seen above. After we had given them the rules and gone over the boundaries of where they could play we began our endeavor of MH. Off the kids went, leaving myself and Savannah and one other camper that didn't want to play. Having the temptation to Canteen sitting there was just overbearing! The good news is we didn't take any :) Savannah had no water in her water bottle so I suggested she go into the kitchen to get some from the sink. I was sitting on the tables waiting for the time to be up to call the game so they could restart... As SOON as I looked at my watch I hear a commotion going on and some of the kids saying... NICK NICK NICK SAV SAV SAV I jump up and yell for Savannah, AS SOON as I yelled her name I hear a BLOOD curdling scream. It was Savannah's ONLY to find out that there was a Cockroach in the kitchen with her...
We both ran over to see what was going on and realized one of the girls has been running and tripped over part of the fire ring. Nothing serious so she was sent back to the Pavilion with Sav and I to just hang out. They played and played until finally it was time to head back to the cabins for bed.
Let me just throw in here during camp you get a routine of when to wake up, when to go to bed...So when you are thrown this ODD hour specialty camp you are affected by it. by 11:30 -12:00 Savannah and I were totally delirious and laughed at anything that seemed funny. So by the time they were done playing this game you could only imagine the things were laughing at...
So I had skittles in my bag from the day's Canteen that I had saved. So on the way back I thought that it would be apprpiate to eat it before we got in the cabin and away from our campers. So the Campers were in front of us, and Savannah and I were in the back, the campers were having a grand ole time talking, laughing etc. There was one particular thing that happened that I won't mention here (Not Bad but don't want to incriminate anyone) that Savannah and I were at HYSTERICALS at...
Let's just pause here... have you ever been laughing SO hard that you are literally gasping for breath and you are literally wheezing and clenching everything because it's just THAT funny!! Okay Imagine that...
So I don't want the campers to know that I have these skittles, only because I'm being selfish and don't want to share... haha. So I shove almost the entire bag in my mouth.
NOT a good idea considering we are laughing so hard we are about to pee ourselves. Here comes the funniest part of the story... We are laughing so hard I have to stop moving because between the laughing, the walking and heat I literally have to stop. Savannah keeps walking forward still laughing, and the kids are some paces ahead of us. Here's where the story takes it's turn haha :)
I begin choking on my skittles... Not just a whoops wrong pipe... I mean full on my airway is blocked and I'm not able to breathe, ONLY gasp for air... I look at Savannah I'm trying to wave her down in the dark. She freezes... and does a motion with her hands that I can't even type. So I've included a video of me re creating this motion.
She's trying to decide to tell the kids to WAIT UP or HELP ME. Thankfully she just yells and as soon as she comes READY to do the Heimlich Maneuver ... I throw up a BALL of Skittles very close to her feet.
The story continues like this... We had a camper who was allergic to Fire Ants, which required him to carry an EPIPEN with him at all times. He then said after we all literally laughed about the whole thing that just had happened, 'Nick you can't die, if you do that leaves Savannah to shoot me with the EPIPEN and I don't really trust her'.
Here ends the story hahahahaha :)
For Now,

Download NCLab Summer Camp 2013 Booklet!
The first NCLab Summer Camp was a breathtaking experience, both for the kids and the NCLab Team! The 50-seat computer classroom was packed by kids of ages between 6 and 16 years. We have never seen anyone eat their lunch that quickly in order to get back to their projects. The kids were even hesitant to log out of NCLab at 3 pm when parents were already waiting outside.
