  • The very first Pinemere vlog!!!!! Ah, I can't believe it's taken me this long to edit and upload a single video from this summer because it genuinely was life changing and if you ever get the opportunity to do it, go for it. One of the toughest jobs of my life but worth it in every single way too. I've split a lot of the summer vlogs up just because of timings but subscribe and come back here for more camp content and let me know if you have any questions about Camp America etc!

      Hi there,
      I would like to join this fun camp next year. How can I contact you or is there any possible way to join this incredible summer camp? I'm not from America.
      Thanks

    I’m going this year and I’m so excited but I’m such a homebody so I relate to this so much 😭 I’m going to be sobbing when I leave. I’m also a very social awkward person so it’s going to be a lot but I’m so so so excited ‼️‼️

    I just searched Camp America Vlogs and yours was the first one to come up then I read your hoodie and was like what is the University of Salford which is the uni I go to, so so random but I just found it amusing because I am going to camp and also barely see Salford uni in any videos

      I went a mix of solo and with people but mainly solo, sometimes it was scary but I managed and I think it was the best thing I ever did because I grew so much as a person! It pushes your boundaries and it’s the most insane experience I would 100% recommend

    i have a question, it says it’s a jewish camp would that mean i’d have to be jewish/support the religion because i love this camp and not many i’ve seen have performing arts sectors but i’m not religious

    • @MillieElizabeth
      @MillieElizabeth  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Depends on the camp but for the majority absolutely not! I was really nervous about this too, it was my biggest hold up about choosing Pinemere actually because I’m so un-religious and I knew nothing about the Jewish faith but going to a Jewish camp was amazing. I learnt so much about a different culture in a way I’d never have been able to and I also grew to appreciate the meaning of religion overall and how it can help people. I’d say go for it!

      i know you were asking her but i’ll answer from my experience. i worked at a pretty similar camp, and a lot of the staff was from america. (im from spain). also yes, the people i trained with with worked at the same place as me.
      at the end of the day that’s just my experience maybe she’ll see your comment now that I’ve replied.

      I honestly wore the same white t shirt and beige shorts for like 9 weeks straight lmao but some people go full out with their outfits. I would say it’s usually pretty casual with people in shorts or skirts and a t shirt or a vest top!

      Camp food was amazing for GF I knew it would be safe all the time and I was happy about it all, eating off camp I actually found so difficult, everything in America is so pricey and I felt like there were no options for me but I managed to get by. I defo found myself eating either lots of fries or lots of fruit so not the healthiest of diets but 🤷🏼‍♀️
