I work at a youth development summer camp that leads into afterschool program. I work with around 500 kids from ages 5- 16. Most kids think of this place as a second home as do I. Spending every day from 6 am to 7 pm there you get connected with everyone there and start making friends. every year after 10 weeks with the same kids and counselors they really become your best friends and the last week everyone realizes how much their gonna miss camp and seeing everyone. you realize all the laughs you've had all the fights you've had and all the memories camp has provided. working there now for 3 years i have seen many kids break down crying on their last days because they'll miss their counselors and best friends. some of these kids coming to camp is their only steady day to day thing and the memories and discipline and communication skills developed there are amazing. I shot this on my phone so the quality is not the best however the best i could do at work. I combined all the videos in software call Camtasia Studios. I used an array of video filters to create the fancy look including film filter, sepia and transitions called Glow. I got a creative commons licence for the music therefore its copyright free. and the quote from john green represents how after summer the camp is pretty much empty and you feel so empty because there's barely any kids however the memories there are endless and every spot on camp has its own special memories and meanings. I hope you enjoy!
