Yes I did. I'm starting to think it's more of a northern thing

Went to two camps as a kid. Both with a friend and both were 2 weeks overnight staying in cabins. Fond memories of both, beating the crap out of some douche that was talking shit, shooting my first guns, fishing, canoeing, making bonfires. Good times

once a month i went on a weekend camp w/ my boy scout troop.
in hindsight, i wouldn't call it camping, more like glamping
sometimes we stayed in a cabin with bunk beds... so not really camping more like hanging out w/ guineas, this is where i learned about i-talian food, scoutmasters would bring gas stoves and butane and huge 16gallon stockpots.
ziti, penne, lasange they was makin zeppolis in a fucking cabin!
in double hindsight these "scoutmasters" probably loved just leaving the house once a month and hang out w/ the guys in a fucking cabin, while ordering around 20 scouts to all collect wood n shit.
sometimes tho we'd go in leanto's
this was cold as shit at night, usually spent the whole day collecting huge logs so the campfire would burn the rest of the night
usually on either of these trips there'd be a few of us in actual tents, and usually this was just to knock off the requirement of staying in a tent a for 2 nights to earn a camping merit badge
one time i built and slept in a shelter like this
for emergency preparedness meritbadge (or survival something?), i was scared as shit as a twelve year old, it was literally just bundle up and survive, no food no water, no lights just don't die by morning, ha.
i also went to a 3week summer camp once, just like in the movies
they had the usual stuff
, boating and archery and a camp counsellor molesting a kid...

From age 15-18 I attended the Northwest Youth Corps for the summer.
Not exactly a summer camp because you are paid to be there but it was nonetheless pretty fun to camp for 6-9 weeks in the deep wilderness of the PNW. When I was 16 I made a switchback trail between two remote towns deep in the mountains. Towns being a strong word. More like a colony/homestead type thing.

Family was poor, only camp we did was tents in some farmers yard. Grandpa left money for me to attend catholic school so I knew plenty of rich kids who did do summer camps though.

Went to summer camp because my parents couldnt utilize a babysitter when they were working. Shit sucks and I fucking hated it.

All the 80s movies with kids at camps for like 2-4 weeks — almost always a northeastern thing. Often an upstate New York thing. While I’m sure this obviously exists elsewhere this was mostly an upper class NE thing. Especially with wealthy Jewish people.
Growing up in the southeast, there was a handful of times I went to camp for like 3 days…usually some church related bullshit when my parents actually cared about that kind of stuff once upon a time.
