SUMMARY: Jenny goes to girl scout camp with her friends.  
The main attraction is the boy scout camp just across the 
river.  Jenny and her friends manage to do more than just 
think about the other camp.

COMMENTARY: I enjoyed the author's style.  She has a nice 
light touch and doesn't treat her characters or the 
situations that they get themselves into too seriously.  The 
humorous asides and detours from her narrative made the 
story much more enjoyable for me.

One thing about the story: it is a bit episodic.  It is all 
about the time they spend getting to and at scout camp, but 
it seems to lack a focal point.  The story as a whole does 
not build up to one climactic moment, although it does have 
such a moment.  This is just an observation, not a 
criticism; something to keep in mind when you are reading 
it.

I get the impression that this story will appeal more 
to women than to men.  I could be wrong, but that is how 
it -- er -- rubs me.

        - Editing: 5/5
