YMCA Camp Copneconic

I’m not someone who got sent to camp or day camp or Bible camp when I was younger. Camp was something I read about in the Babysitter’s Club.
However, I got sent as a grown woman to Camp Copneconic with some peers to do the dreaded «team building exercises». Now I played varsity softball and tennis, and I figured, «Hey, piece of cake. We’ll run a couple laps together, do some fake fishing, sit with some marshmellow fluff around a camp fire and call it a day.»
Instead we did an obstacle course that involved logic and problem solving skills, some ropes, balance beams, and a wall you have to propel yourself over. We were trapped with no way out of the camp other than to become a team when beforehand we were pretty cliquey.
It worked, at the end of the day, it was just like Camp Breakfast Club. We were all united. The following week, however, we were sitting right back at our respective cafeteria tables.
I’m giving it five stars because it was a lot of fun while we were there. Camp Copneconic also offers day camps, partner camps, resident camps, archery, kickball… the usual goodies. If you’re trying to force a group of people to work out differences, this might be a good bandage for time being.
