Description: Camp David is American diplomacy's secret weapon. The home of the 2015 GCC and 2012 G 8 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.
