[quote=Anonymous]I get where you are coming from -- I sent 10 yr. old DD to one week of GS camp last year and got letters saying "I can't take this..." It was sad. I'm still glad she did it -- but I don't know if 6 weeks would be the right move. It's a lot of money. I like the idea of doing a 2 week adventurous day camp this year. Assess. Maybe two weeks of sleep away camp next year (or not). Maybe one week next year of sleep away. Are you looking to "fix" his introversion by sending him for 6 weeks? Or are you looking to give him a happy summer experience? If the latter, then I'd move more slowly and work with his interests instead of trying to make him more extroverted/outdoorsy. Let him come into his own rather than thrusting him into an uncomfortable situation.[/quote]
