Highlights

Sanitary napkins (unused, please) tied onto a stick make excellent wicks for torches!

Dr. Margaret Chisolm, Johns Hopkins Medicine
There was band camp: people are generally kinder outside of school/work. There was wilderness camp: only pack what you need. There was Boy Scout Camp: young adult leaders can in fact lead.

Dr. Carl Streed Jr., Boston Medical Center
Bug spray. What the stars look like when it’s really, really dark. Marshmallows toasted, not on fire (IMHO). Corollary: Reese’s peanut butter cups instead of chocolate (you’re welcome). And bug spray.

Dr. Sarah Clever, Johns Hopkins Medicine
Always shake out your clothes and shoes before putting them on!

Dr. Rachel Salas, Johns Hopkins Medicine
Always bring an extra pair of socks or two! Dry feet are happy feet.
