We’re trying to stay as anonymous as possible because we all want to have futures and we extend that courtesy to you as well. So we won’t credit your confession unless you expressly ask us to (no one has so far). As a huge supporter of camping and the outdoors, we don’t want any of these confessions to reflect poorly on the organizations that made us stronger people so we won’t be naming any specific camps either, unless they are submitted with approval by an official representative. We’ve been sticking to general camp topics to hopefully widen our appeal but we are supportive of specific types of camps and the confessions that come with them. Feel free to submit whatever.

We will accept all submissions but we will choose what to post to avoid repetition and issues with any of the concerns above. As far as submissions for confessions- if you don’t see your exact submission there are several possibilities:

1) it is really similar to a confession that has already been written*

2) it’s in the inbox, or in organizing/editing to go to the queue, or in the queue all of which varies in length at any given time**

3) we tweaked it a bit to make it more general

4) we tweaked it a bit to make it more of a confession and less of a moment/expression/statement thingy.

5) your submission was very obviously anti-camper or something we considered in bad taste. If you’re curious, feel free to message us and as but we don’t veto things very often.

6) look at reason #1. Then go back through the archives and I bet it’s one of the early ones. 

Another reminder- Most importantly, it shouldn’t matter what camp(s) I specifically have attended (…have worked for, will attend, will work for, will send my progeny to) because the confessions come from thousands of people and are associated to several camps.

*If your submission is about showers, there is a very good chance it is too similar to others. If your submission is about how camp is better than the rest of the world, there is a very good chance it is too similar to others. If your submission is about how camp has greatly impacted who you are as a person, there is a very good chance that it is too similar to others. Please be more specific if you feel your confession is unique and please scroll through the archive before submitting it.

** Please refer to the screen shot in March. The inbox can be HUGE and doesn’t even show the in editing confessions.

We are here to present you with a few giggles. When submissions come in, they are sorted by categories like gear, food, activities etc. These are the collections of “I’m not sure where you were going with this”, original spelling included. Some are simply items, some are oddly specific stories, and others are just confusing. 

• I learned how to take out 30 kids in 1 min. with a paintball gun
• duck tape, friendship bracelets, crazy creeks, and banana boats
• when the dining hall’s cups are too small, one actual cup is worth about 2 1/2 dining hall cups, bigger cups please!
• winning dessert with the head of camp’s family because you requested it on your weekly evaluation sheet
• taylor is a cool cat from camp
• i got in trouble for aqua dumping
• When the dining hall isn’t using enough fiber in the food and you not only have to file an official complaint to your unit leader, but you desperately write home for fiber bars, and you create poop chart to prove that no one is pooping..
• the directors tried to give back internet access…we stole paint from the secret pal supplies and painted our faces and bodies in protest.
• staff shirt
• i had to eat a gallon of canned peaches in the middle of the night with 4 other people. i will never eat peaches again.
• counselors are always creating funny stories for their campers, so when you try to tell them the reason you are covered in grease is because you caught a pig at the county fair on your night off, no one believes you.
• camp

Anonymous asked: when you submit do you add who submits? I would like to submit some confessions but I don't want you to include my info.

I will only add the name if someone explicitly asks me to. It hasn’t happened yet so all submissions have been posted anonymously. There is only one person who sees the message box and therefore the sender. And if you’re really worried you can submit anonymously as well.
