[quote=Anonymous]I think it's common in some groups of people; everyone I know who lives in Manhattan does this, presumably so the kids get lots of nature/outdoor time that they wouldn't be able to do otherwise. I also have a lot of Jewish friends who grew up going to sleepaway camps that were oriented around Jewish culture/traditions - many of them made friends for life at these camps and are sending their own kids to the same places. I grew up in the Northeast (suburbs), and while a few kids might have gone away to a week or two of sports camp, there were mostly SAHMs and I never heard of 6 week summer camps. My kids go to camp all summer because my husband and I both work, but I can't imagine sending them away for a month or more. And some of the camps that my friends use are insanely expensive - $11k!![/quote]
