I feel like I have done a somewhat decent job of trying to keep some of that childlike wonder in my own life, even just not abandoning things that I love like video games, watching anime, the occasional cartoon.
I do wonder in practice how this really works for making friends, once you leave camp there is now a distance limitation.
But I have long wondered about the idea of recreating some of the experiences from childhood as adults. Things like camp, maybe going to a "day care", or other things to just not think about all of the stress of life for a little bit.
Sure we have things like going to Disney, amusement parks, adult oriented arcades like Dave and Busters. But as fun as those are they are not really replicating the childhood experience like this seems to do and other things that could be made similar.
I couldn't be more for this. Maybe one day people will realize that school still works for adults, too, and make it easy for adults to dabble in attending for fun or to refresh stuff that they forgot since college.
Going to sleepaway camp remains fun when you're an adult. Learning things remains fun when you're an adult. Adulthood doesn't have to be isolation and atomic family units, it just means you have a job.
