[quote=Anonymous]We were considering sleepaway camp for our 9 year old who has become more self-sufficient in the past year, but it is more expensive than daycamp, even the local YMCA ones. We'll put it off at least one more year. Very few of our friends (DC area and at a NW WOTP DC public school) are doing it. More frequently they are talking about day camp, some variation of "gramma camp," flex work and taking family vacations together. The parents I know who did do sleepaway camp report the kids come home with a feeling of more self confidence and independence. Must be something about having to schlep your own stuff to the bathhouse! I had a mixed experience because I loved the nature stuff, swimming and campfire songs but not yellowjackets, team sports in the hot sun and sometimes you get assigned a cabin with some cliquey mean girl campers.
