CAMP HANULA
SUMMER '17
SUMMER '17
Can you feel it? There's a certain hysterical desperation to the air this summer. This past year if we're being honest. Adults and other assorted older folk are feeling the heat. Politically that is. Teens are too, but the '00 and '99 kids are more focused on the fact that the big eighteen's right around the corner. Some of them are chasing for their freedom while others are reveling in their childhood as long as they can.
Camp isn't exactly what most people have in mind for a fun summer. Space camp being an exception obviously. There are fun summer camps, cool academic camps, and camps for delinquents and deplorables. Camp Hanula is none of those. It's just a place for long-exasperated parents to drop off kids twelve to seventeen for a long-deserved break from their offspring.
As a place, it isn't too bad. Sure, it doesn't have much going for it, but it's not an unbearable place to hang out for a month. The residents, though, leave Camp Hanula much to be desired. Obnoxious pre-teens run around with disregard for other kids or the counselors. Bored teens who don't know what to do with their growth spurts or how to handle their hormone-fueled emotions dicking around with one another and causing trouble. And counselors barely into adulthood themselves who don't care and just want the cash. Everyone's practically given free reign here.
For Tavia and Tobey, the terrible twosome, it's their last camp before they're set free. The only thing on their minds is, "Anything's possible." And maybe, this time, for these couple of kids, anything is possible.
