Camp America: Second Summer Shenanigans Is Here!
The wait is over. After months of anticipation, Camp America: Second Summer Shenanigans has officially launched. This bold, hilarious, and heartfelt follow-up in the There’s No Place Like Summer Camp series is now available worldwide.
Whether you are a former Camp America counselor, a fan of backpacking memoirs, or just someone who loves wild travel stories with heart, this book is for you.
A Celebration of Chaos, Campers and Change
Following the success of the first book, Andrew Waterhouse is back with more behind-the-scenes tales from one of the most unique summer jobs in the world. Second Summer Shenanigans explores what happens when a returning counselor arrives at camp only to discover that everything has changed. New faces, bigger responsibilities, and even more outrageous escapades fill every page.
This book dives deeper into the emotional highs and lows of life abroad. From laugh-out-loud moments in the mess hall to vulnerable reflections under the stars, it captures the spirit of summer like never before.
