[quote=Anonymous]I never did more than a week of camp, and only for a couple years, but I married into a Camp Family. All the kids did eight weeks starting at like 10-12, in the woods in Maine, very expensive, lots of outdoors time, etc. We don't have $10,000 for the summer so we probably won't be doing it when the time comes, but it's possible a relative will pay to keep the tradition alive. Personally, I see the benefits even if the price is crazy enough that I wouldn't do it personally (it's more than a months worth of income for us). We do lots of outdoors time as a family, but we can't do seven weeks of constant outdoors time. I can (and do) teach my daughter to pitch a tent or canoe, but I can't really give the experience of spending a whole summer working on those skills away from family. It's not an essential part of a happy childhood, but I see the value.[/quote]
