[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People in this area like to spend time with their children during the summer. You can do all the fun outdoor things around here but you do them as a family or hire a nanny or college student to do things with them. I’ve never heard of anyone going to sleep away camp, I’m about 2 hours from DC and people here are more likely to take their kids to a camp ground or buy a cabin further up in the mountains than send them away for the summer. It’s just not something people that grew up in this area really do. Growing up I asked about something similar I saw on a magazine and got shut down immediately with a hard no. My parents were not keen on the idea of other people raising their children, that’s what they said and think that’s how many people around here probably feel. You have to go much farther north for that I guess.[/quote]

Oh come on, sending your kid to summer camp is not having someone else raise them. Its giving them a wonderful opportunity to grow, spread their wings, and become independent AWAY from their parents. Do I miss my kid terribly when she is away? absolutely? I don't send her to camp because I don't want to spend time with her, I let her go to camp because I love her and camp is so good for her.[/quote]

Ok, sure, you just keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better.[/quote]
