[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, so 8-9 seems like it’s pretty agreed upon. What about for international programs? They take kids in older elementary, but I’m not sure how I feel about it. DS insists he is ready but he’s never been away from home for that long, let alone abroad for that long. [/quote] I’m not sure that 8-9 is pretty agreed upon. That can still be a little young for lots of kids. I would say 10 would be a better age for the average kid and then work from there in consideration of an individual child’s personality and general nature. I’ve worked many years at summer camps and seen what a bad result it can be when kids sent before they are ready. [/quote]
