First thing, Don't worry about it!! If I have learned anything is that when you stress over a situation like this, the outcome is the one you don't like...

Just be yourself. Don't be afraid if the others don't like you because (no offense) some of them won't and that happens to ALL of us. If you are confident with who you are then many people tend to notice and be more likely to talk with you.

You're going to a band camp, so everyone has something in common, just be yourself and hang out with some people who share the same instrument you play because then you have even more to talk about.

And lastly to not act antisocial, don't wait for someone to come up to you or be afraid to participate in any activities. The first few days are going to be a little weird and uneventful, but don't get discouraged, since this is because many people are feeling what you are, it takes time to get comfortable.

Just relax and have fun! Good Luck.

Email me if you have any other questions or just to talk!

Hey Kittzen Here,
And i can help, you know all that be your self stuff. yaa thats a good fall back plan. Listen when you get there all you have to do is look around see like who you would be comfortable hanging out with by their groups and ect. when you see possible chocies go up and say hi and indrouce yourself, but don't push if you can sense they want nothing to do with you back off. and than try again with some other people, like go up to some and say cool hat or whaterever of that sort.
trust me, it will work if you find some one nice enough to be friend you. and just be yourself with that peson you know hand out talk about movies their intrest. just have fun.

The great thing about a themed camp like band camp is that everyone there shares a common interest so you automatically have something to talk about. Get involved in camp activities that interest you and you'll meet others there that share the same interest...start talking to them about said hobby, their instrument, what school they're from stuff like that. Getting the conversation started is always the hardest part...keeping it going comes naturally once it's rolling...chances are others will approach you too, but don't wait for it to happen...talk to others too. Camp will be a blast.
