[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I'm a total Interlochen "snob" having gone there four summers and worked there for one and would never consider sending my child to Blue Lake (esp. from this far away). [b]We thought of it as being a "townie" kind of camp for Michigan kids who didn't get into Interlochen at the time (but wore nearly the same uniform :-))[/b]. Interlochen draws kids from all 50 states and something like 30 countries; it's like experiencing a wonderful small liberal arts college but as a child or teen. It really is unparalleled. I think what's nice about the junior program (the littler kids) is that there may be one or two true "standout" prodigies at that point but most of the kids attending are really normal and just show a fondness and aptitude for their art/music and they do a good job making sure the kids get normal summer camp recreation (swimming, canoeing, arts & crafts, nature, etc.)[/quote] I have to say you are truly revolting. I was very lucky that I had a very privileged upbringing for which I'm grateful, but I would never refer to other people in these terms.[/quote]
