[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, grew up in Atlanta and most of my friends did, usually in Brevard, NC.  My mom grew up in NY and all her friends did too, usually in VT, NH or ME.  My kids are at camp right now, same ones (single sex)  we went to as kids - for a month, just like us.  It was my hands-down favorite childhood memory.  Loved every second of it and would go back today if they let adults come.  :)  Not allowing your kids to go to sleep away camp because of you hang-ups is really sad and selfish.  Its is one of the most positive things you can do for a child.

That said, tons of people I know in DC send their kids to sleep away camp.  Most of them are private schools kids, if that has anything to do with it, as far as who does or doesnt do sleep away camp.

I think the biggest difference today is that most people wait until kids are 10 or so to send them and there are more camps that offer just 2 or 3 week camps.  When I was growing up lots of kids went at 6 and 7 yrs old and the shortest session was a month.

My 6 yr kid was sent on 2 week rookie camp this summer.  I got the cal about 10 days in saying she wanted to stay for 4.  The last letter I got was asking to stay for 2nd session.  She's happy.  I will let her stay for 2nd session.[/quote]
