YMCA Camp Loma Mar

as a kid growing up an only child my parents needed some time to themselves so off to summer camp i would go!
i went to this camp for 2 summers and it was frigging awesome. a cabin full of boys for 3 weeks and the great outdoors, oh my!
arts and crafts
polar bear club
sleeping outdoors waking up with ants everywhere
the mess hall
parents giving you money for the snack shack and saving the rest for after camp:)
horseback riding
panty raids
camp songs
hikes along the river
too many memories to list!
all in all this is a great place if you want to experience summer camp. every child needs to experience it at least once and camp loma mar is the best place in the bay area.
my last year at camp was in the mid 80’s and it was myself in a cabin with 7 black kids and it changed me in a good way. as i received my care box of archie comics and cookies from mom run dmc’s RAISING HELL had just come out and was blasted constantly. listening to this day after day made me more a a man and i got rid of the comics and grew a huge pair! the friends you meet at camp loma mar cannot be beat and to this day i still run into someone i met there and the memories are never ending.
