Some people can't wait to come back to camp...Lillian didn't wait.

Lillian’s not a mosquito. She’s a girl, who only feels like a mosquito.

When she came to camp, she spent the first three days the way she spent a lot
of her time – not getting along with others. She picked fights and didn’t participate in
worship. During games, she picked grass.
