Camp David is American diplomacy's secret weapon. The home of the
2015 GCC and 2012 G8 summits, the 2000 Peace Summit, and the 1978
Peace Accords, the camp has played a vital role in American history
over the past century, inviting Presidents and international
leaders alike to converge, converse, and, perhaps most importantly,
relax. A peaceful mountaintop setting, crucially removed from the
constant scrutiny of the press, Camp David has served as both a
site of critical diplomacy and unparalleled tranquility. It is
where President and Mrs. Reagan rode horses through the mountains,
where Gerald Ford could take a moment to jump on a trampoline with
his daughter, where Nixon rode shotgun with Soviet President Leonid
Brezhnev, and where Jimmy Carter could find the ultimate
flight-sledding-only to break his clavicle two weeks before the end
of his tenure. Under the pressure and stress, it is easy to forget
that those occupying the highest seat in the land are, at the end
of the day, human but at Camp David, we finally get to see these
leaders at their most vulnerable, their most unguarded, and as
their most true selves.
