Camp (Not Sontag's), Part 2: In part two of “Camp,” Ellie and Carrie apologize for being “pick me” girls in their previous discussion of Camp Vega, recall socials (the Cedar Bowl) and the horror of grinding culture, and explain outlets for hormonal urges (the Bunk 7 casino, the removal of the tetherball pole). They explore camp as a total environment apt for trying on new versions of themselves, the liberation of skinny dip, camp as a sapphic eden (where one might fall in love with the lead in a 2005 production of “Bye Bye Birdie”), the camp bubble bursting when news broke that Michael Jackson died, grieving the end of childhood, and squaring personal politics with the prohibitive privilege of a place that made them who they are. by All Each Other Has
