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...
