[quote=Anonymous]Are you talking about a "Family Camp" or camping as a family for a week?

We go to a YMCA Family Camp every summer, used to be a full week but now just Labor Day weekend.  It's great!  We started when the kids were 3 & 4 and it was the first actual vacation I had as a mom -- all the meals are provided (served family style), the kids were off doing stuff with their group during the a.m.  DH and I got to sit and read a book, go for a bike ride or hike, horseback riding, etc.  Afternoons were for family time.  Very little logistics to have to deal with for me.  My kids are in middle school now and we all still love going every summer.  Our family camp is Deer Valley,http://www.deervalleyymca.org/  They are likely fully booked for the summer but do sometimes have cancellations.

Actual camping for a whole week I wouldn't love.  I don't want to do all the cooking in that setting.  I have enjoyed the Jellystone or big KOA style campgrounds for a weekend, but that is my limit.[/quote]
