[quote=Anonymous]We have 2 ES aged kids who go to day camp for most of the summer. I budget for it at about the same cost as 2 months of daycare because we need childcare. Recently, I’ve started to look at sleep away camps and I’m blown away by the cost. On the one hand, a lot of staff are needed, and the cost includes activities, food, accommodations, etc. On the other hand, it’s so much more expensive than day camp. The extra cost could fund a really nice family vacation, 529 accounts, or retirement. In some groups, sleep away camp seems fairly common. In others, less so. Right now, it feels like more of a budget decision than a “kid would enjoy” decision. Do you send your kid(s) to sleep away camp? How do you budget for it? What % of your HHI do you spend on camp?[/quote]
