I need stories about camp (noun, not verb).
Abby gave me this awesome collection called "Sleepaway," and I know about "The Acorn People" and "Tongues of Angels," and "Brownies," but I'm short on more titles. I'm ready to give my camp story another go now, and would like to see what else is out there. Anybody know of anything else - novels, stories, nonfiction?

"I Like Guys" by David Sedaris. It's from NAKED, I think.
I've got that one in Sleepaway. I just checked my shelves, and somehow, I've managed to give away all my Sedaris books - even the advanced free copy of Dress Your Children I ganked from Borders when I worked there.
I love that essay.
Have you heard the This American Life segment on camp? If you go to their web-page you can listen for free.

Brownies is one of my favorites. Mr. Wolfe gave me that one when I was writing about camp.
That link I just put up isn't working suddenly but if you click on all episodes you are looking for June 2007--that's the most recent time it was aired and it is episode 109.
Good stuff.
I can't think of any. But I remember the movie "Earnest Goes to Camp." A model of the highbrow comedy. You know what I mean, Vern.
I wish I had something to add. I don't.
Wait.. I do.
Basketball camp was hot. I ran my ass off every summer of my life in 90 degree weather in unairconditioned gyms. One day when I was about ten, I took 50 cents to buy a soda and put the change in my shoe since my shorts didn't have pockets. A quarter fell out, and the girl I was guarding picked it up and put it in her pocket. It made me nervous, because I knew I wasn't going to just let her keep it. At the end of the half, I asked her for my quarter back, and she actually gave it to me. I can't remember if I bought the soda or not.
