Wendy says that there are several dog camps across the country, but I wouldn't know that. I just know about this one. It's held by a group called Dog Scouts of America. I think it's based on an organization that humans have for their kid-pups, but I'm not sure. Dog Scout camps offer several different activities that are open to any kind of dog. Dogs can earn little round pieces of cloth called merit badges for each activity. I'm not quite sure what use a merit badge is. You can't eat them - trust me, I tried. But for some reason, the humans were very proud when a dog got one. Then again, just between you and me, humans are a bit strange at times.
The camp is in the northern, lower peninsula of Michigan and we had to drive through 3 states to get there. Wow!! I thought I would never get out of that car. But we arrived on my 9th birthday of all days, and I knew right away that this was going to be one of the best birthday presents ever. For a minute I thought that I'd died and gone to doggy heaven. Oh, you would not believe the smells! And there were deer tracks everywhere. Yummy!
