Camp Siegfried - ePublication
THE STORY: It’s 1936 and a sixteen-year-old girl’s parents have made a decision: She will spend the summer at the Long Island family camp her aunt’s been going to for the past couple summers. To be honest, she is not really into it—everyone there is really excited about their German heritage, what with the oom-pah tuba music and beer flowing every night. So when a seventeen-year-old boy, who is certainly working hard to become a man, is the first to befriend her, they find in each other a burning passion that only grows hotter the more time they spend together. They feel understood, and almost nothing will stop their burgeoning love. Based on a real summer camp, Camp Siegfried is a true cautionary tale of the lengths, compromises, beliefs, and hurt we endure, and are willing to place on others, when intoxicated by the ecstasy of love and belonging.
