Song Challenge Day 6: Song That Reminds Me of Somewhere

Growing up, one of my favorite summer activities was going to camp.  I was ten when I first attended, and went to Mt. Aetna Camp in Maryland.  I was in the 'Mohican' cabin, with counselor TJ.  Kevan was also in the cabin, but I can't remember if he was teaching TJ how to be a counselor, or if he just stayed in the cabin for lack of other housing, but Kevan was my cousin Becky's boyfriend (and now husband), and while I remember very little about that week at camp, I do remember riding on Kevan's shoulders one night and talking about Becky, and he expressed how much he loved her.  Now he's related, ha.  I also recall the high-dive that one of my cabin mates did a belly flop off of, and buying balsa wood planes at the camp store.  I also remember the theme song of the week, which was Rich Mullens's "Awesome God", and every time I hear that song, I think about Mt. Aetna Camp.

That was the only week that I attended that particular camp, as our family moved the following year, and I started going to a different camp in Michigan, Camp Au Sable, that I attended for the next 5 or so years, sometimes for two or three weeks a summer, and ended up working there for three summers while in college.
