About this listen

 What happens when a seemingly innocent summer camp experience turns into a breeding ground for conformity, control, and groupthink? This week, Reese and Chelsea dive deep into the cult-like rituals of sleepaway camps, unpacking how a place meant for childhood fun can quickly slip into something far darker. From initiation rituals to absurd team-building exercises, we explore how sleepaway camps use isolation, authority, and shared secrets to create an all-encompassing sense of belonging. What happens when the quest for friendship and personal growth starts feeling more like a psychological experiment? With bizarre camp traditions, strict hierarchies, and a little bit of manipulation, we trace the fine line between team spirit and maybe a little mind control.
