[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids both went last year.  One did a general camp and the other did a specialty camp.  Neither camp seemed to be especially good.

Both kids were unimpressed by the activities and thought there was a lot of waiting around.  For instance, they did archery one afternoon, but each kid only was allowed to shoot one arrow.  It took a lot of time to get everyone ready and out of the unit to the activity, then there was a long safety training, all for 30 seconds of an activity.  For the specialty camp, they only did the specific activity on one day and all the other days were just normal camp.  (This wasn't clear from the description.).  On top of that the group for the specialty activity was too big so it was a lot of waiting and not very fun because they didn't get to do much. 
The rest of camp was lots of friendship bracelets and tie dye, both of which my kids have done a million times.

I'd try a different camp.[/quote].

Which location?  (And if you're willing to name the specialty that would be appreciated, but I understand if not.)[/quote]
One kid was at May Flather (older kid) and the other at Winona (younger kid).  The older one asked to try a different camp.  She's into adventure (backpacking, rock climbing, caving, kayaking, etc) so we're looking at other outdoor adventure camps.  I don't think any GS camp is going to meet her expectations.  They're really "intro" camps at best and not for a kid who really likes and is experienced at outdoor activities.[/quote]
