I went to Camp Clear Creek as a kid with my school back in the early 90s. It was an amazing experience. I was scared and shy around new people but a guy calling himself Bear was there to make everyone feel welcome. I wish I could remember the names of all the staff but the good times will stick with me forever. I won’t lie, the food was nothing to write home about but that didn’t matter. The trail hikes were fun. The natural water slide was so fun. The campfire skits were hilarious. The swimming, the aviary, etc. Wish I could do it over again with my kids.
