[quote=Anonymous]Maybe you just need to find a different camp and concentrate on camps that have an older population.  Also, you can try to find camps that cater to what she is interested in.

My dd13 still does day camp and loves it.  For 2 of the camps, this will be the last year for her age group but they are still heavily populated by older kids since the camps are really good camps.  It's rare she sees any of her school friends at camp although the same kids go to camp each year with her.  Next year, she will be able to apply to be a CIT.

One option, since I don't know where you live, are Teens on the go type of camps that many county recreation department do.  We did a couple of weeks last summer and ours was 12 years old to 16 years old and was full every week and they seemed to have a good time.  There were a lot of kids from her middle school in camp.

I find there are a number of kids that actually continue to like camp as they get older because it gives them some structure, something to do other than stay in the house or do the pool all day, puts them around friends and great activities and especially with the teen camps that do a lot of field trips, it gives them exposure to a lot of stuff with independence away from family.[/quote]
