Here's a piece from the book called "Apology + Opportunity":
Tommy, Janna, I’m going to stop you right there. Now when I say the feelings you’re describing are exceptional, I mean nuke the moon. Your account of the time spent between Tuesday’s kickball game and this evening when I happened upon you in each other—all I can say is wow and God bless and cherish it because for some of us, this has never happened. Have I been in love? I would hesitate and then say yes. But there is love and there is the ineffable mountain you’re scaling. To review: you two share the same favorite show, favorite movie, favorite band, favorite song, you both run track, and you both find camp a little immature. What I need to secure from you now are two swears on this copy of Camp Bylaws for the Hearty and True that you won’t let my misinformed intrusion dampen your beginnings. There’s an expression for the look you two are giving each other: Married in our Hearts. And when such looks are exchanged between two consenters age fifteen and up, the Lord winks and turns away. So too shall I. What happens next is: I’m going for a forty-minute nature walk. You will find my cabin unlocked.

This book is not for everyone. However, because I have such fond memories of camp, I enjoyed it. It's funny how seemingly unique experiences are really a part of the greater "camp" one. It's a truly universal appreciation, no matter which camp you are at.

So wonderfully original, poignant and fun. This book is quite the accomplishment.
"We'd chased and caught the ecstatic moment, mistook it for a house to live in."
You'll never have a better time than when you're reading this book.

This book is horrible and it was a chore reading it. I hate to start reading a book and not finish, it was like getting teeth pulled. I cared nothing about the characters and couldn't wait for the bus to come take them home.

Great collection of comical short stories/experiences from the campers and counselors at Fun Camp! I suggest it if you are looking for something different than your normal novels. Think outside the box.

I have to confess, I initially bought this because Gabe Durham is my friend's friend, and I thought it might be gimmicky hipster nonsense. If it is, it is at least brilliant gimmicky hipster nonsense, and you should buy it and read it and let its comic genius just wash the hell over you.

I loved this book. Something about the voice really grabbed me and had me enjoying each of the short sections quite a bit.
