[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get it, why are they so popular? It is because they are for people that can’t afford sleepaway camp? [/quote]

They are very reasonably priced. My DD’s program is $525 for a week. They also very outdoor focused and old school. Girls sleep in Glen shelters, use BFFYs, have campfires, no electronics, etc. [/quote]

I actually wish they used a sliding scale or FA, with a higher fee on the top end. It would dampen demand slightly and bring more money to the program. I specifically want DD in Girl Scout camp and can/would pay the going rate charged by similar local camps. People who have money but aren't looking for that experience might go elsewhere; people who don't have money could still afford it on sliding scale.

For example, it's nuts that daycamp costs $150 a week in this expensive area, but then there's a huge crush from over-demand. Charge $450 at the top of the scale and expand the program with the extra funds so more girls can attend.[/quote]
