Elizabeth ShreckhiseHostMadelineGuestLindsayGuestPoppyGuestVivianGuestIsabelGuestSo, you know, here at camp, we have no phones, no screens, nothing like that on set row.
And so one of you guys said you're, I think Isabel, you're closer to the friends here.
Why do you think that is? Like, why do you think that taking away the technology helps to form those closer friendships?
I think first off, like you're just not like on your phone.
You can kind of just like talk.
And I don't know.
I think it's just, like, less pressure.
You can kind of be, like, more yourself.
And everyone kind of can just, like, talk about, like, anything.
And, like, it's just fun and, like, just laugh about
anything.
Yeah.
Kind of what I said earlier, being able to just go to another person's tent.
Like, my best friend Paige is, like, only a couple of tents down from me.
And just being able to go face-to-face talk to her or, like, go to the store together or something just makes us a lot more closer than just texting each other.
yeah yeah
i agree with bobby yeah i think i think it's almost funny like we all get there we just pick up right where we left the last year and i just think that's really cool like of course we like communicate outside of like camp and everything but i don't know it's just yeah yeah
Yeah.
And what
was I going to say? Oh, Poppy, when you were talking about like your best friend is a few tents down.
And I like to bring up that too, because sometimes people will say, well, why can't you just like request to be in a tent with someone that you want? And we explain that, you know, we only have four people in a tent and request to be the best friend.
You already kind of have like two people that are requested and the other two that have it.
um but we say that camp is a close community the tents are you know all close together and you have a best friend that's just a few tents down so
