I've been to tons of camps in my lifetime, and in my experience, it's always really easy to make friends. All the first timers are really nervous to fit in, and all the older girls are really nice to the younger ones. You could bring a group game you can still play on the bus, like trivia, and make sure to sit by other people, not just by yourself. DON'T bring a book—that'll tempt you to just sit back and read—and sit on the aisle seat so you can talk to people. To be honest, you don't need to change yourself to fit in with the older girls—theyre usually very accepting, and I know I'm willing to be friends with younger girls. Just don't act like they're the only ones there—there'll be plenty of people to make friends with that are your own age, and it's more likely you'll have stuff in common with them. As for being yourself and still making friends, all you have to do is be outgoing, make jokes, laugh, and share your snacks (which are a great idea to bring, BTW, potato chips are a good idea).
Have fun!
