8 Hilariously Dramatic Letters From Kids Who Are Not Loving Life At Summer Camp

Sophie White

As of 2017 Canada will do away with the traditional eight-week Summer holidays. Anyone feeling a little bit envious???

The Canadians claim they are making the change after research has shown the long gap in schooling results in stalled learning progress. Surely this is just a convenient excuse. I know we’re only a few weeks in, but already the Summer holidays may be stressing some of us out. Simply put, what do we DOOOO with them? Whether you’re a working parent or not, the summer break is a yearly upheaval in the routine and eight weeks is a long time to keep them entertained and cared for.

Thus, the Summer Camp is a godsend for most parents… IF you can afford them.

Of course, once your child hits a certain age there’s that pesky matter of free will to contend with also. Perhaps they don’t want to be packed off to *insert activity here* camp. Here’re eight kids who are suffering acute aversion to the Summer camp experience as illustrated in these letters to their parents.
