[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people here claim those camps are "life changing expierences". Such an nonsense! They will be fun but spending a few weeks  away from home with the same socio-economic group as they have at home in a well protected 24-hour camp offering accommodation and fitting is not "life changing".

This right here. I've had prior conversations with friends about the "life changing experiences" of camp, or how camp girls turn out to be successful, resourceful, independent girls. My response is that the summer camp cohort are usually white, wealthy kids from affluent areas, who grow up with not only expensive summer camps but all the benefits that family wealth affords (private school, education, fully funded college, family vacations, tutors, etc.). The default setting for these kids is success. Summer camp is not what pushes them over the finish line. If you can afford summer camp, great, but you shouldn't sacrifice anything to pay for summer camp. [/quote]
