Venue: Mocha Hut, 1301 U Street NW

Camp Camp takes us back to the one place on earth where appropriated Native American terminology, competitive sports, social hierarchy and libido-soaked nights lived in wholesome harmony. The book, the ultimate summer read, is a love letter to summer camp and the history of a generation, a chance to relive every Champion sweatshirt-wearing, accidental bed-wetting, sky-hook-wedgie-receiving, tie-dye-making golden moment via hundreds of photographs and stories straight from the source, including tales from AJ Jacobs, Rachel Sklar, Paul Feig, David Wain and Sloane Crosley.

Roger Bennett is also the author of Bar Mitzvah Disco, a collection that used thousands of bar and bat mitzvah photographs from across the nation to tell the generational story of those of us who came of age in the seventies and eighties, and one of the key contributors to theacademyoftherecentpast.com.

Presented in partnership with the 16^th Street J’s EntryPointDC GesherCity and J on Demand.
