The fun of sitting around Pangong Lake with 40 guys around a fireplace, having a glass of wine... staying in one camp together... that's an experience. Waking up at 5 in the morning, watching the sun come up. You don't do these things in Bombay.

'Saturday Night Live' was actually started with a show that Lorne Michaels and I did at a summer camp called Timberlane in Ontario when we were 14 and 15. We would do an improvisational show with music, comedy and acting.

I didn't like books where people played on a sports team and won a bunch of games, or went to summer camp and had a wonderful time. I really liked a book where a witch might cut a child's head off or a pack of angry dogs might burst through a door and terrorize a family.

At Camp One we were met by Director of Public Works Warwick Greene, grim and grimy. He has been working himself to death to make this transportation plan a success.

Oh my God, I'm so excited. I love Comic-Con, it feels like a weird nerd camp. All my nerd friends are there and all the comic book writers I know and then a lot of actors, too, and you hang out with these people for just a few days, but you hang out with them all day, every day. It's like camp - it's like a weird camp. I love it.

I played a homosexual bodyguard in 'The Last Detective,' and that was quite a pleasure to do something slightly different. I was a very camp bodyguard!

I've been a children's book editor, a nanny, a camp counselor, a barista, a research lab assistant, and a movie theater ticket-taker.

Kerri and I met at theatre camp when were 16 years old, which is pretty lame. The rest of us met when we founded the State at New York University in 1988. Most of our adult lives have been spent bickering with these people.

When our ancestors crouched about the camp fire at night, they told each other tales of gods and heroes, monsters and marvels, to hold back the terrors of the night. Such tales comforted and entertained, diverted and educated those who listened, and helped shape their sense of the world and their place in it.

Space camp was actually, like, the best summer of my life. It was amazing. But I thought I wanted to be a computer programmer, and among computer science folks, Turing is this object of cult-like fascination.

I treaded water academically and spent much of my summertime as a camp counselor. It seemed a fun thing to do for a person in no way prepared to commit to a career path.

I told them, you can succeed - it's not likely the first time, maybe 25 per cent, but you CAN succeed. You can also die. By April 16 they had already been to camp III, well ahead of most teams.

Certainly I was a very religious child, a deeply weird and very emotional child, an only child with lots of imaginary friends and a very active imagination. I loved Sunday school and Bible camp and all that. I had my own white Bible with Jesus' words printed in red in the text; I even spoke at youth revivals.

At this camp I had the unique experience of showing all these seasoned Westerners that it was possible to make a fire by the friction of two sticks. This has long been a specialty of mine; I use a thong and a bow as the simplest way.

I understood why films were made, and if they made a lot of money, they were successful. All of these things I knew. As a ten-year-old boy, I didn't really think a lot about finances or celebrity. I always viewed films as kind of what I imagined a summer camp to be like.

We left Dayton, September 23, and arrived at our camp at Kill Devil Hill on Friday, the 25th.

I find it not hard to make friends, but it's definitely different when I go somewhere like summer camp and everyone already knows that I'm in 'Hunger Games'... My life is still pretty normal, and I still have some really great friends.

I learned to canoe at summer camp and thought I'd pursue Olympic whitewater canoeing. In my senior year of high school, I instead decided to attend M.I.T. I like to say I've had only two jobs in my life: whitewater canoeing instructor and wilderness guide in college, and C.E.O. of iRobot.

It was necessary to bluff the Japanese camp commanders, with whatever authority I could muster, that I had come officially to ensure that the surrender terms were being complied with and that living conditions for the POWs were being immediately improved.

From fifth grade on, I worked at our public library. The pay, a pittance, was almost superfluous. All through high school, I looked forward to summer as the time when I could work at the library four or five days a week. I was never a camp counselor, a lifeguard, a scooper of ice cream.

When I work in San Francisco doing stand-up, I usually schedule it for July, and we'll drive up the coast and camp in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Big Sur, and we'll just camp our way up the coast, and then we'll get to San Francisco and hang out there for four days.

Basketball Without Borders is a leadership camp that takes basketball to different places around the world, to Africa, Europe, America and Asia. It's a camp that brings players from different parts of the continent to one city that's been assigned as the host city. We've been going to a different city every year.

I understand what training camp is for. It's needed. It's necessary, so it's just one of those things that you have to put yourself through and it makes you better. It gets you in good shape, so it's necessary.

I don't like fantasy where a king snaps his fingers and suddenly a whole army appears and goes off to war - he's got to feed them, he's got to pay them, he's got to take care of the camp followers and the gamblers and the people who cause disorder.

After a training camp workout, my body is eager to replace nutrients and energy that are lost during the workout. It's best to have a quick bite about 30 minutes after practice. I like to have yogurt and granola, the combination of carbs and protein helps me recover after a long and tiring workout.

Boxing is individual, although there's a team concept because you need a great corner, you need a great trainer, you need a great prep man, you need all of these things, but it's more of a Mano a Mano; it's more you versus me. I miss that time in training camp and Dad and Mom cooking meals. It was one big family.

The activities that went on at Camp King between 1946 and the late 1950s have never been fully accounted for by either the Department of Defense or the CIA.

I bought an island in 1987. It's in one of the lakes in Canada. I went around it in my boat and went to the real estate office and bought it. It's the best $65,000 I've ever spent. My family camp on it and we have great times there.

I was planning to stay in the Army all my life, but I ended up being posted to a training camp in Wales and was so bored there, I wrote a novel.

My best friend and I went to sleep-away camp every summer. We'd share stories of making out with boys, but we never did, so we made it all up. My real first kiss was at a friend's house when I was in junior high. He was such a good kisser, and we're still close friends!

Touring is hard. It's really hard on the singer, especially, because your body is your instrument and you have to be so good, it's like boot camp out there; I can't do anything - just sleep, sing and be very healthy.

My mother lived in Holland, and during World War II was incarcerated in a Japanese camp for three years.

There is a history of gay people pretending to be straight. I want to balance the sides. I'm a straight person pretending to be gay. I've had a lot of people to imitate. It's easy when you're British; we're camp by nature, anyway.

I fly myself everywhere. I like all kinds of flying, including practical flying for search and rescue. And I also like to fly into the backcountry, usually the Frank Church Wilderness in Idaho. I go with a group of friends, and we set up camp for about five days and explore little dirt strips and canyons.

I'd love to open a camp focusing on the arts accessible to kids from all income brackets.

My childhood memories include a time when the government confiscated my family's possessions and exiled us to a camp in the B.C. Interior, just because my grandparents were from Japan.

We've actually had two or three of these and out of the funds we've raised, we've helped 283 kids go to camp that financially wouldn't have been able to go. It's been pretty beneficial for us. All of the money raised helps send Scouts to camp.

We're not going to rule out the playoffs until we're mathematically eliminated. I know the players would hate to hear this, but I'd love to go to training camp with this group of guys right now and start the season all over again.

We've always taken the position at this rookie camp that we'll give opportunities to guys who deserve them. Estrada continued to play well. He deserved to go.

We're going to take a pretty tough position on that this year. These guys, in general, they're all making a lot of money. It doesn't do us any good to pick somebody and then not have them get to camp. That's going to be very important to us. I personally am going to insist that that person we sign has got to be in camp to start.

We're going to see how he does out of the bullpen. It's just kind of a different role, some flexibility for us. He has pitched very well in camp and we believe we can pitch him anywhere.

When we came into camp we had about 11 guys at the position, ... Then we had about four or five guys hurt, so we were down to about seven players, but when you're as young as these guys you can do a little more than you think you can.

When we get opportunities, we've got to take advantage. I've never harped on it as much as we have this preseason camp ... because of what we've done in the past in the scoring zone.

were more worn out than they ever had been at training camp for football.

With the new acquisitions, there are a few spots taken already. So mentally, I'm coming into camp like I'm a rookie. I know for a fact I don't have a guaranteed spot, so I'm just coming out, working hard and trying to make the team like everyone else.

We know we have the pieces in place, ... That's evident. You look at last year, with us being a game away. So we know that. The question going into this camp is can we create that same chemistry? Can everybody play at that same level that we played last year? Can we be that same football team? In this business, that's the hardest thing to do.

We want to protect what we achieved at Camp David, we don't want to waste those discussions.

We have so many people in the camp that it's difficult for everybody to find a porta-potty. With 90,000 people at a game, you can imagine 10,000 standing in line.

We were aware of some of Erika's problems, but not all of them. The most important aspect of our decision to recruit her was we had her in summer camp for several years and got to know her and her family.

We'll be fine, ... They have no choice other than to be fine. We've got a game to play, and we can't put it on hold for them. They've been getting pounded in camp about not being productive enough, but they'll be all right. I'm proud of the way they worked through all that stuff.

We thought we'd have one back and we still might. And if we don't, that's great for them. That's the business we're in. Someone at this camp might come out and win a job. It's early.

We're a pretty resilient group and everybody has chipped in. I think a lot of guys have had career years. Right from training camp I thought we had four lines that could score. We've kind of continued that theme all season. We had a little rough patch in December, but over the last three months we're never out of a hockey game.

We hope to give him a good send-off by achieving some good results in the autumn internationals, ... The Welsh camp wish him and his family all the best in his new life. David Moffett has done a remarkable job in helping transform Welsh rugby at a difficult time and has left a lasting legacy.

We didn't want to leave a sour taste in our fans mouths. The positive that I take from this season is that I am very comfortable with my teammates. I feel like I am becoming a leader. We have to build chemistry, work hard this summer, and come into training camp jelling with each other.

We've still got a lot to learn about each other, a lot to learn about winning. It just feels good to get that first year out of the way. It feels good knowing coming into this camp that you know your personnel better and feel more comfortable with what you expect.

The reality is that we have a history with Gore and have worked with him on many issues. There are people in the Bush camp who don't seem to grasp tech issues, and they have sent out some signals I'm not comfortable with. Gore really understands the essence of the industry, and I think his appointees to key places would reflect that understanding.

The process will begin when the season begins. This is an orientation camp, it's not a tryout camp that we're having.

We're happy; I think it's a credit to those players who worked so hard, ... I discussed it before. They stayed here during the off-season when people were gone trying to improve themselves and in different ways, each of them showed up whether it was in training camp or the preseason games. And they've earned their right to be here right now.

When I was at SEALS camp and had a stress fracture, those guys threw me over their shoulders. It's come full circle. We can all depend on each other.

When they talk about the Y camp being a family, well, for us that's true, both literally and figuratively,

Magee has had a very good training camp. He has worked on his fitness and it shows. His finishing this entire camp has been in a different class.

Last year, we had a lot of new, young faces. It was Scott's first training camp with them. But now they've spent a whole year with Scott. We had some success. Now we should be able to step on the practice floor this week and have the attitude we're going to pick up where we left off.

Last year was a mountain climb -- we were fortunate to be able to plant the flag at the top of the mountain and win the national championship, ... This year, we have won zero games. We are at base camp at the bottom of the mountain looking up at the climb. And it will be very difficult.

Sheehan we found in camp in June, we offered in the summer and he committed. Excellent QB, big range, mobile, cannon for an arm and fits our system.

Mike Logan is a good football player, ... He had some injuries in the past but came in here in excellent shape. You could see that in the spring. He was moving a lot better. He did that in the off-season program. Then you say, 'In training camp we'll see how he'll be able to do.'

Movie Camp allows us to teach local kids how to act in front of the camera. It's very rewarding to see the kids' reactions. . . . Something magical happens.

My information is that he was in Denver. He told me some personal things and I know his mom has been sick. I know he was going to go to the Fantasy Camp but my understanding was that he was in Denver first to see his mother.

My focus right now is meeting with each side ... to see what kind of conclusions they have drawn about the insights that developed at Camp David, and then we'll see if there are ways to overcome the differences,

One of our pitchers was gone to all-state band camp in San Antonio and she stepped in and did a good job. She hadn't really thrown in a year and a half.

One of our concerns with Shields was his being in big league camp for the first time. You know, trying to push it and impress the new staff. But he has a great maturity level and aptitude. He has a good head on his shoulders. He seeks direction.

One hundred and fifty thousand Cambodian people in the United States now were either born in a refugee camp or their parents were born in a refugee camp. The person that sits next to you in class may be a refugee.

One of the best things about running the camp is to be able to have small teams. There's a lot of one-on-one coaching and everyone gets to know each other. ... That's one of the cool things about the camp.
