Thanks for posting your story in The Ink Well, @cryptofi. This is a sweet story. At last the boy has come of age to be able to go to camp!

Have you read and commented on the work of at least two other writers this week? This is a requirement in The Ink Well, as it helps our community to thrive. (See The Ink Well community rules on our home page.) Thank you!

I enjoyed your story, @cryptofi. While the story line is very simple, and there is very little conflict, the fact that nothing bad happens provides a small story arc that you resolve well in the end. I would have loved some more detail about the activity at the camp — such as small difficulties like a bee sting or bad food or homesickness. This would give your story more of an arc when nothing bad happens but the small things!

I'm glad to find your story, @cryptofi.
You adequately deliver the feeling of joy and fulfilment that the experience gave you.

You create a wonderful atmosphere in this story, @cryptofi. It made summer camp sound like such fun. I liked this line:

if I have the hands of time, I will take myself back there

A very enjoyable story.

A beautiful story of summer camp. It's something you're meant to go to and come back happy.
Thank you for sharing.

This is a sweet story ... a lot of children feel this way, I am sure, and this connects on a lot of levels ...
