Camp Camp, Book Giveaway

Camp, a favorite (often forgotten) American kids past time. Everyone went — if you didn’t go, you wished you could have. It was the one place on earth where appropriated Native American terminology, competitive sports, social hierarchy, and libido-soaked nights lived in wholesome harmony. From the acclaimed authors of Bar Mitzvah Disco (who hasn’t seen that book?), I give you, Camp Camp, Where Fantasty Island Meets Lord Of The Flies. The book’s a riot — a collection of photos by author and borderline genius Roger Bennett, a founding member of what he calls the Academy of the Recent Past. He’s on a mission to save, catalog, and celebrate the very recent past — things, trends and items that shaped this new generation. You know, like ping pong, bands that tried to rock and failed, and of course, camp.

Fancy a book and don’t want to go buy it now on Amazon? We’ve got three to give away to folks that have great, endearing (and embarrassing) photos to share from their days on the bunk beds and in the pine forests. Send your photo entries to feedback [at] joshspear.com and we’ll pick winners next week.
