[quote=Anonymous]I just came looking trying to figure out where Al Fresco was (Camp Letts! Thanks!) and saw my childhood slandered. The simple truth is, most of the aap and gen ed students weren't friends. We didn't interact unless we signed up for band/strings/chorus. During recess, I even remember people I thought I was friends with say that aap kids ruined their school, then proceed to turn to me and go "not you though." It stuck with me.

When you were in AAP, you generally got a mix of the same kids for class 3rd-6th. You grew up like a [u]family[/u].

And as a kid, learning that your friends parents were volunteering to run an overnight camp, of course you would be excited. There was a pinata for the cabin with the most points at the end! Which yes, you got by pranking. I remember going back to my cabin and finding googly eyes on the mirrors. [i]Harmless stuff[/i]. There's a silly string fight, and at the end, whichever cabin collects the most silly string from the ground wins. You'd also get points for being punctual for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There wee trivia games to choose who would go into the dining hall first. (the brownies were divine)

The best part of Al Fresco was hanging out with your [u]family[/u].

And since it's run and paid for completely by parent volunteers, you really can't complain. Because you can do the same. Complaining isn't going to change anything. What you need to do is recruit other parents, spread the word, reserve the camp, and work for it. These parents work their asses off organizing it. Ask them how they go about doing it, and they'd be happy to share.

Sorry for responding to a dead thread[/quote]
