The state or condition of missing
camp. Commonly happens to counselors because they are at
camp for so
long, but also can happen easily to campers who embrace the
camp culture. It is like homesickness, but worse because it is a place you have chosen to make your home. Some symptoms include crying,
depression, loneliness, reading, making, drawing, listening to, singing, looking at, hugging, or eating anything that resembles camp, looks like camp, is from camp, or reminds you of camp, even remotely ex: mac & cheese, trees, camp songs/chants,
music, movies, books, comics, magazines, where the characters/
people go to camp, go camping, or are even outside in nature that
may possibly look like camp or are in tents or a
cabin, even a lake or a tree or a pinecone... also, wearing, obsessing over, looking at drawing, or reading anything that came from camp, you brought back from camp, or was taken at camp. ex: wearing camp shirts for entire week, constantly looking at pictures from camp.
The only known cure is taking the
person back to camp but over time, the level of campsickness will decrease the level of campsickness depends on how
long you spent at camp. The longer, the worse the campsickness it also depends on the degree of how much you enjoyed camp, usually the more you enjoyed it the more you want to be back. Usually campsickness is at its prime the first week to month away from camp.Camp sickness is an awful condition
