Going to Windells without a friend?

Iv'e searchbarred and read all the threads about how great Windells is and how it is really worth the money. Sadly though, none of buddies can come with me, so is it still worth it to go without some friends?

i'm about 100 percent certain you will make friends without a problem. I think a lot of people go alone, just lke any other summer camp. Not a lot of people can afford that shit. It will probably be a blast either way.

i'm going to session 1. i think going alone is better, because that way you can meet and chill with new people instead of the same friends as always. making friends is half the fun of camp.

I went by myself a few years ago and had a blast.  Granted, I went to COC more recently and am returning this year, I really had a good time at Windells by myself.  If i had a choice, I would rather go to Windells if I was by myself than COC, but would rather go to COC with friends (as in this year and the last time I went).  Its easy to meet people at Windells because you are pretty confined to the camp, whereas at Whistler you wander around town during the afternoons.

About a third more of the people there go by themselves and always having the time of their lives.

This summer is going to be siiiick at windells. You will have a blast there even if your by yourself. I worked there all last summer, and i saw a million kids show up alone and have the best time of their life.
