I have spent many hours looking at this post, and it makes me sick. My dad went to horseshoe for every summer from the age of 10 untill i think he was 20 or something. all my life i have been hearing about horseshoe this and that. every year, he writes my brother and tells him all these horseshoe stories and traditions. i see the memories that he has, while watching him look at my brother's camp bus drive away.
I know Jordan, and i know that a lot of what he brought to kwaga, were things that he and my dad did at horseshoe over 30 years ago. Camps can only be so different. i'm sure every camp has some sort of plaque hanging in the dinning hall, and i know every camp has some sort of all camp games. Horseshoe is nothing like kwaga, and infact since Horseshoe, the original, was a long before kwaga, than you could say that kwaga was just like horseshoe, only it's not. they might have thier similarities, yet they have their own unique differences as well.
i'm writing this post not out of anger, or jellousy because frankley that's what some of the kwaga boys sound like, but of sadness. i know that my dad looks at these posts and feels horrible, for both kwaga, horseshoe, and jordan. so next time you feel like you need to bitch about your issues with this wonderful camp and it's hardworking staff and alumni, please get your facts streight and make sure that you do your research.
