Camp Snoopy
The classic 1977 Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown starts off the collection. Charlie has a hard time at camp, dealing with bullies and physical challenges. Of course, he and his friends end up in distress, and Snoopy and Woodstock come to the rescue! There is another adventure, Summer Camp, that is a bit shorter and once again contrasts Snoopy’s talent and bravery with Charlie’s ineptitude. There are new tales as well, and several original strips of Shulz’s between chapters.
Graphic novels seem to be the favorites of modern readers, and there is no shortage of camp stories in this format, including Smith, Tanner, and Gomez’s Absolute Zeros: Camp Launchpad, Karim’s Summer Vamp, LaMotte and Xu’s Unhappy Camper, Gibbs and Sarkar’s Spy Camp: The Graphic Novel, Mercado’s Chunky Goes to Camp, Gardner’s Long Distance and Brosgol’s Be Prepared. If you have a young readers lucky enough to go to a summer camp, Snoopy’s Beagle Scouts would be a great book to hide away in the camper’s duffle as a special surprise. Who knows? Maybe you will get a stylish lanyard in return.
