[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are at the age now where camps have become a place for an activity, not just child care.  My kids are very much into outdoor activities--white water rafting, hiking/camping, rock climbing, mountain biking, etc.

Their camps are expensive by the nature of the activities offered and the transportation required.

When the kids were younger, the rec dept camps were fine as long as you realized what you were getting.  You're not going to get counselors that are going to plan engaging activities; you'll get HS/college age kids that are more like babysitters.  The activities will be inexpensive such as coloring or cut/paste.  The games will be simple ones that can be played with a ball--soccer, kickball, red light/green light.  At the end of the day, you will not get [b]a written report detailing your kids day[/b].  Johnny will have had a "fine" day.  Your kids will be safe but not necessarily entertained or learning something new.[/quote]

Where on earth do you get a written report each day?[/quote]
