Holly Maddox was infatuated by powerful women for most of her short life. She always admired the sort of woman who possessed the innate ability to frighten and intimidate people in any situation. Holly adored the sort of woman who didn't shy away from appearing strong and somewhat masculine to others. It was a bonus if the woman had the generosity to reveal...
Ashleigh stepped out of her father's grey Volvo and slammed the door shut. The heavy sun beat down on her. She walked round to the back of the Volvo and opened the trunk. "Want a hand with that, Ash?" Her father smiled and lifted out the heavy suitcase. "Thanks Dad," She smiled back and took the suitcase from him. "Well, have a great time at camp sweethea...
It had been a long hot day at camp, when Mandy and I headed back up to our tent. We had spent much of the day hiking the trails around the girls camp that we were currently councilors at. We were enjoying the summer, even though the job required that we stay at the camp three weeks out of each month, and that we had to live in tents that whole time. But the...
Many different skills are learned at summer camp. Some learn how to play sports, others how to weave baskets. My experience was a bit different. It was at a small, artsy summer camp in the woods of Connecticut that I explored my bisexuality. I knew I was bi before my third summer at camp, and when I arrived was ready to meet anyone, male or female, who migh...
I hate getting lost in the car and lost I most certainly was. I had been traveling through wooded roads for hours it seemed (okay, not really) looking for Camp Cheer-Lee-Dah where I was to begin as a summer instructor. My GPS, handheld, not built into my old small sedan, seemed to be taking me through one small road to another deeper in the woods. I'm pretty...
Vera knocked lightly on the door to Xui-Li's cabin, gathering herself for this next phase of the emotional roller coaster. She was unused to feeling so powerless, to being at everyone's beck and call, to having no say whatsoever in what she did or what was done to her. However, she was in too deep and there was no way for her to back out now. Out here at sea...
I was told that the drive into Camp Larry Horton would relieve me of all my fears. I was skeptical, of course. This was my first full-time position as a young adult camp coordinator and nothing seemed capable of alleviating the butterflies in my stomach. But soon after turning off the main road onto the dirt and gravel path leading to the camp, I began to b...
Margaret stood on the small balcony beside her bedroom, gazing over the mountains and feeling the cool breeze sweep through the valley, over the water, and into the villa. Her eyes were drawn uncontrollably toward the gypsy's camp and the soft glow of their fires. There was no music floating on the wind and no laughter soaring over the trees. Her sleeping go...
Stacey wasn't sure her mom and dad would have approved of the "training" she was getting at this expensive camp her coach had recommended. Her high school cheer coach also being the head of the camp was the primary reason she was here, along with her natural athleticism and mom and dad's money. Coach Natasha had a fondness for her, to say the least, and made...
The bus ride was long. You seemed to have been traveling for days. But in reality it was more like hours. Six to be exact. For the last five of those hours only trees have gone by. Your parents had sent you away this summer against your will. They were taking their own vacation this summer and they didn't trust you at home by yourself. You couldn't really bl...
