Pete and Nick discuss an news article on summer camp. Please also enjoy the AI generated description for "cancelling summer camp".Welcome to another episode of "This One Time At Summer Camp", the podcast where we tackle the latest disaster in the world of childhood nostalgia: summer camps are being cancelled. That’s right, folks—no more bunk beds, no more s’mores, and forget about that canoe ride you totally didn’t fall out of. In this episode, we’ll explore how a bunch of overprotective adults decided that climbing trees and learning how to tie knots are too dangerous for today’s kids. So grab your imaginary campfire marshmallow and settle in as we roast the idea of canceling summer camp—and maybe even a few liberal tears while we’re at it!Check out our website: summercamppod.comEmail us: thisonetimeatsummercamppod@gmail.comSlide into our DM's: @thisonetimeatsummercamppodSource: https://www.thetimes.com/world/us-world/article/behind-the-scenes-of-an-american-summer-camp-kfv6q7vwm Hosted on Acast.
