[quote=Anonymous]At our son's 7 week boy's camp in Vermont, there is an entire weekend where family can visit 3.5 weeks into the summer.  Rather than calling it "parent's weekend", it's called show weekend (and when they perform their camp play).  We get to spend allot of time with him over show weekend----they integrate the visitors into all of the activities on Friday evening, all day Saturday, and then until mid-afternoon on Sunday.  We absolutely LOVE this special weekend with our son.  Some families stay in the nearby family camp that this camp also runs.  Many of the families also have daughters at the girls's camp and the parents/brothers/sisters spend allot of time back and forth between the camps that weekend----though leaving camp other than to visit a sister or brother is not allowed---too unsettling to take the kids out of their camp environment for such a brief period of time.  One year, we opted to stay at a B&B 30 mins away; this year we stayed at a hotel in another town aprox 30 mins away.  For the kids who don't have visitors (especially the international students), a very special weekend trip offsite is planned.  Show weekend is truly the highlight of our summer and a tradition we look forward to every year.
