SS2 Babysitters’ Summer Vacation: “Lake Dukakis”

Written By Anne

We are stumbling to the end of 2020 like all of you! At least we get a little detour to fancy summer camp! We talk about camp in culture, fake “Indian-ness,” and dangerous ideas about asylums and murderers. And oh! The heteronormativity! Guest appearance by a leaf blower. Happy New Year, Stoneybrookers!

“Stuck in Stoneybrook” is edited by Emily Crandall. Theme song written and recorded by Gary Shaller, performed by the band Kid Kit. Need some books that we mentioned?
