I’ll never forget the year that my sister got chicken pox two weeks before our highly anticipated late elementary summer camp. To get the timing right, we shared straws, and soon, we were both slathered in colloidal oatmeal and recovered in time for camp. Anything for camp!

Happy Summering (and beyond)!
