[quote=Anonymous]Op here. Those day camps cost $600 to $800/week because I sometimes need to pay for daily two way transportation busing,  aftercare (some I need beforecare as well) and sometimes they include field trips. One PP is right that I probably have mommy martyr syndrome feeling like it’s better to spend money on my kids directly than on something everyone or I’ll also benefit from. I am already looking at $1200-$1500/week sleepaway camp that I have been thinking of but I have not dared to tell DH yet. Vacation to me is fun and tired at the same time. It is more work to plan for vacation and airline /hotel prices flucturate, unlike camp is fixed price. I want to get the best deals for vacation. DH relies on me to plan the whole vacation, and take care of everything. I work full time. For me, I hope DS8 have fun and may learn to be more outdoorsy being outdoor.

DH is not a great model to show kids outdoor activities  and sportmanship. I rely on camps and classes to promote these. It is not like that we can't afford those camps. There is nothing wrong with those under $400/week camp, but I am a worried type that why they are so cheap. Will that be bullying, higher ratio, bored, and lower quality if there's no reviews I could find. There's no review for county camp in montgomery county. [/quote]
