Oh where were you when I was a lad?
I was forced to spend my summers balancing the awkward moments of mosquito-ridden hikes and hiding in some horrid bathroom from girls who won’t leave you alone.
Summer camp can now be taking a stab at creating your ideal video game, thanks to Wakefield Tech Community College.
The News & Observer is running a story about how four girls created a video game character named Rhi Rhi is now a central character in an upcoming title, apparently about Koalas.
All this at a summer-camp program offered in North Carolina by the above mentioned community college.
Not bad, considering the only thing other camps have to offer is s’mores.
