Ah, those childhood memories of summer camp. You got to sing songs around the fire, learn how to canoe and make new friends, all while pleading with you parents to let you come home. It’s one of those weird things you experience as a kid. There are moments when you love camp, and moments when you’d do absolutely anything if your parents would just come and get you. Now. Right now.

Diane Falanga has gathered some of the funniest letters from camp that you will ever read. This is actually her second book of camp letters and was compiled from thousands of submissions. It’s not just a re-written compilation of the letters, either. The pages of this book are full of copies of the actual letters kids wrote, complete with grammar errors that would make an English teacher cringe and an abundance of hearts and sloppy kid handwriting.
