[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you want to send your kids to camp in an air-conditioned cabin in a region that regularly  has 90 to 95° weather?

Most people think that sending your kid to camp for four to eight weeks is a weird, uncaring thing to do. I think a lot of Jewish people do it because many of them historically lived in New York City which used to be hellacious during the summer. So it seems more normal to you but most people think it’s bizarre to send children away for that long.

You’ve posted before. Just send your kid to one of the Jewish camps you like in New York or New England. It will be cooler there.[/quote]

I agree. My Jewish neighbors send their kids to long camps just because they themselves grew up doing this and have great memories of it. No one else I know sends their kids to long or short camps - they want to spend time with their children. Day camps are big business because of that.

I only went to one sleepaway camp in my life. My teen and tween never went. We're completely fine.
