[quote=Anonymous]I used to love rainy days at sleepaway camp. We'd get an extended rest period where we'd play games in the cabin and muck around with friends. They'd hang up sheets on the windows in the dining hall and we'd sprint over in our ponchos to watch movies. Sometimes they'd even plan an outing to a movie if we got days of rain on end, which was just about the greatest thing ever. Once we made a giant slip and slide on the hill above the soccer field. Another time we all made up lip sync routines and had a lip sync competition in the dining hall.

Yes, it can be a bummer, especially if you are only there for a week and were looking forward to outdoor activities that can't be done in the rain, but there's also something really special about rainy days at camp. And a PP pointed out, camp isn't 100% about having fun- a bit part of the benefit is about learning about how to deal in new situations, including when things don't go exactly as planned or desired. And forging friendships, which may be more likely to emerge from hours in the cabin than out on a rock wall.[/quote]
