Why hostels remind me of summer camp

-Bunk beds
-There's always someone that snores
-Sometimes you have to walk a long way to the bathroom
-Shower shoes (flip flops, thongs, jandals)
-There's always music playing
-When the bell rings, or the fire alarm goes off, everyone wakes up
-Shower caddies... And you know someone always forgets their clothes and sneaks around in their towel
- Thin walls and the movie, Wet Hot American Summer
-Open screened windows and singing cicadas
-Big porches, garden areas with plenty of room to sit and relax to just chat
- All the possibilities for activities? Wanna kayak? Hike? Swim? No problem!
-Meal times are frenzied and hectic
-Sometimes, there are bugs
-The grill and or BBQ
-Thin walls and the movie Wet Hot American Summer
-Meeting new people and making new friends

And finally I've mentioned this before but the over all sense of community and camaraderie. Everyone can relate, everyone has at least one thing in common... Even if that one thing is the same address that night-- you're never alone and that's pretty cool.
