None of us know what we need.
And it's this agonizing, unfailing plight of humanity that keeps us from grasping some inkling of who we are. Matt Ko, with his two-dimensionally perfect life, sure doesn't know; Peter Westin and his sarcasm haven't the slightest clue; And Sam Hadds, wise as she is, can't find the answer.
So what happens when a summer camp writing project breaks down the paper thin personas they've built?
What happens when three teens, two weeks, and one story turn their lives inside out - and makes them tell us what the stereotypes can't?All Rights Reserved

The Art of Being Alone (Together) by CAITLlN

Delena is determined to have a good time at summer camp and forget about her backstabbing ex-best-friend Mei. But when Mei shows up at camp too, suddenly revenge looks a lot more appealing than forgetting. * * * * * As far as 17-year-old Delena Torres is concerned, friendship is nothing more than a quick way to get hurt. This has been her mindset for the past two months anyway, ever since her best friend Mei ditched her and started hanging out with her arch enemy. She's more than ready to spend summer vacation alone-- then her parents surprise her by signing her up for a photography course at Camp Create It, the summer camp she and Mei always dreamed of attending. Still, even if she has to be surrounded by other campers, Del's determined not to get attached to anyone. She'll spend the summer by herself, honing her photography skills and forgetting about Mei. Easy, right? Maybe, if it wasn't for the fact that her quirky cabin-mate seems deadset on becoming friends. Or if she could stop running into the cute guy from the kitchen staff. Oh, and if she wasn't in the middle of a prank war after one stupid attempt at revenge, since Mei just happened to show up at camp, too. Yeah, this "lone wolf" thing might be harder than she thought.

Home for the Summer (BOYXBOY) by dreamy_lights

Apollo Quinn is entering the summer before his senior year with one promise to himself; He needs to truly live. After 17 years of being miserably bored, he planned on finally finding himself. Maybe getting a girlfriend, maybe going to a party. No matter what he did, it needed to be big: Something utterly life changing. The only issue? Nicolas Young. While 5 years ago, Apollo and Nicolas had been best friends, these days, they never spoke. Nicolas lived across the country and Apollo was a bit too stubborn to reach out. When Apollo's mom let him know that Nicolas would have to fly from Vermont to California and spend the entire summer in their house, Apollo knew he was doomed. What he didn't account for was how utterly life changing their new friendship would become. 🌊🌊🌊 90,880 words Some content may be upsetting to certain readers!

Well, I Just Screwed Up by StupidFreakingBees

"Seriously you've dated the same guy since freshman year!" He asks astonished. I nod my head. "So, you've only kissed one guy?" I laugh. "Why does everyone always ask that?" Izzy Gavins has only dated one guy; has only ever kissed one guy. Everyone tells her to live her life and to have fun. She does have fun, Tyler makes her happier than anyone she's ever met. Tyler Lochner flunked sixth grade and had to repeat it. Sometimes God works in mysterious ways. If that hadn't happened he wouldn't have gotten to go through high school with the one girl he's ever loved. It's their last summer before college and they're not going to let any minute go to waste. At least that's what Tyler thought till Izzy started having doubts about their relationship. Maybe everyone is right, maybe she's holding herself back to fit into Tyler's lifestyle. Maybe she needs a break to work on herself. One thing Tyler hates is the not knowing, for him they're either together or not. Everyone says change is a good thing, but what if it's not? Because this change hurts like hell. Cover art by @JankyFluffy

What Happens on the Fourth by author_brittneyclark

You know how they say: What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas? Does that apply to a campsite in the middle of Northern Wisconsin on a prominent American holiday? Amelia Brooks always had bad luck with men. That, inconveniently, always left her as the only single friend in a group of couples, and the only thing worse than being the only single friend in the group, was being the only single friend in a group that goes camping together for ten days over the Fourth of July. Usually, that meant sharing a camper with said couples, shoved in the corner on the only twin bed in sight. This year, however, Brooks was prepared and was ready to camp in a tent by herself. What she hadn't considered, however, was the fact that this year, she might not be alone in her suffering. Alexander Hanes was the athlete of the group. With an unsurprisingly perfectly sculpted body and deep, hazel eyes that often shifted green in the sun, it was no surprise that Brooks had always had a crush on him. There was just one problem, though- he had a girlfriend. Or... at least, he used to. Now, upon seeing him again for the first time since their college graduation, Brooks learns that Alex is now single- and he's looking for somewhere to crash for the week that doesn't involve bunking with a bunch of happy couples. Luckily for him, Brooks has just the place. The tent is hardly big enough for two, and upon remembering some drunken words muttered the first time she had met Alex, Brooks is reluctant to now share a bed with the handsome, newly-single, friend who she's been secretly crushing on for years. But when she goes against her better judgement and complies, rules are set to ensure that her friend remains just that- a friend. But rules are made to be broken. And things that happen in the tent during the week of the Fourth of July are meant to stay there. So why not have a little fun?

Camp Crestfalls by nlocking

Kathryn Morgan knew what it meant to keep to herself. She never had friends over. Never went to parties, or hung out at the mall--never even had a boyfriend. 14-year-old Katie knew how to blend in and she was alright with that. It wasn't until the summer before high school when her parents decided to go on a six-week tour of Europe without her, sending her to Camp Crestfalls Summer Camp that her life would be forced to change. What Katie worried about was whether these changes would be for the worse or the better... This coming of age tale told from the perspective of Katie is about discovering what it means to come out of one's shell.
