Hi, my name is Mirena Medina. I have been going Stone Mountain Adventures for four years and I am ecstatic to be spending my fifth and last summer at such a wonderful place. I can say with 100% conviction that Stone Mountain Adventures Teen Summer Camp is my favorite place on Earth. And when my camper experience was coming to an end and I found out there was an opportunity for me to return, there was no way I was not going to jump at that opportunity.
There are so many reasons I decided to ask Jud to return to camp for one
last year of fun and memories. The biggest reason why was because I could not imagine myself sitting at home this summer hanging out with friends from school, when the only place I could imagine myself during the summer is sitting with friends at Donation Rocks or Raystown Lake. It is not the specific places that make camp so appealing, but it is the memories and potential they hold. To spend my days at a mall or sitting at home watching movies does not sound appealing what so ever, when the opportunity to make once in a lifetime memories is right in front of me. Every time I sprint to the big, white numbered vans I know that I have hours of laughs and smiles ahead of me.
The simple fact that a van can bring so many people such nostalgia and joy is truly extraordinary. I also want to return this summer because if the opportunity to meet so many amazing people, with so many different and unique backgrounds, is offered to me than who am I to deny it? Stone Mountain Adventures Wakeboarding Summer Camp has people who come from all corners of the Earth, from England to New
The friendships made at camp are like no other. Of course I have best friends at home. The friends I have known since grade school, the ones who I see every day at school, and laugh with during lunch. These are my best friends. But let me guarantee you that very few of my friends at home compare to any of my camp friends.
