Eleven strangers in one van working together as a team. I wasn’t quit sure what to expect going into Camplified. I was excited to meet my crew members and share an adventure with them, but our experience ended up as more than just an adventure — it was an amazing learning experience. When I arrived to New York for the first time, I was amazed by the city! New York got nothing on Los Angeles, I thought. But I didn’t realized how lucky I was until I walked into the Primary Wave office and met some of my team members — Mike, Dre, Alex, Josh, Katie and wonderful Aimee Berger, the one woman who made this opportunity happen for all of us! Aimee gave us a tour through the Primary Wave office and discussed the great work PWMP participates in; it was then I realized how lucky I was to be apart of the Camplified crew. I felt as if this Camplified tour experience brought me one step closer to my dreams of working in the music and film industry. And I was right!

The first week of tour, we met up with Christy, Evelyn and Kris. We also stopped somewhere in Virginia at a Walmart and bought fireworks to shoot off for Katie’s birthday! We also went to Camp Highlander in North Carolina, in which I realized quickly was the camp I used to watch on a Disney TV show called Bug Juice! I had always wanted to go to this camp when I was younger, and now 10 years later, I was finally here. I was so excited! We started to adjust to sleeping in the van and working on a tiresome two hours-a-day sleeping schedule. However, during this time of lack of sleep, we were all getting to know one another, and it wasn’t long before we would eventually start to get on each others nerves haha. However, we all somehow adapted to one another and each others’ personalities. (more…)
