[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gosh, open YMCA all-summer camps are, and have always been, lord of the flies style. These are not places where happy memories are made - at least not for a big minority of kids.

Find camps that are more focused activity based, where you don't need to find a friend club.  We tend to switch up camps every week, and have always only don't half day camps (DS wants the afternoons to decompress) - so when he was younger, that meant a babysitter who picked him up and hung out with him in the afternoon, and now that he's older, he just chills by himself.

Camps that have been good for him: Sailing, art (even though he's terrible at art), robotics, lego, STEM-center, chess, rowing, cooking, pottery, bounce house, etc etc.  Anything where there's an organized activity, or organized small groups.[/quote]

Do you have any idea what an a-hat you sound like.  Some people need the all-day camp, because they work and can't afford to pay for lots of expensive camps AND a sitter.

Good Lord.
