Yes. 4H camp. It was awful for someone introverted. They make you do stuff you don't want to do, everyday. Constant weird social interactions.
Staring at the floor in showers because it was group showers and I didn't want to stare at naked people of the same sex. Still got yelled at because I was accidentally staring into a puddle, I didn't even realize it, and it was reflecting someone who noticed way before I did.
Someone almost smacked me across the face with a fishing weight on a line. He was in the bathroom and someone threw it over the stall. They wanted to beat up the person who did it and since I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, they thought it was me. Their friends talked them out of it.
Weird dance/social at the end that was super awkward.
Forcing someone who never swam before out on a canoe in the middle of a deep lake
Talent show that forced people with stage fright onto stage to do humiliating stuff because nobody in my cabin had a talent
Everything done as a cabin/group. Sleeping, bathing, eating. It's like being in prison or the army.
I'd like to say it made me stronger but it didn't really. If anything it set back my development a little bit.
I have an intense dislike of communal sleeping. I'm a restless sleeper, I constantly toss and turn and maybe even hum a tune, but being in a place where I'm expected not to be a noisy piece of shit makes it hard for me to sleep.

lmao I also went to a 4H camp- I'd think it could even be the same one except that our showers weren't communal.
I actually really liked it though, except the talent show and dance, those were the fucking worst
