[quote=Anonymous]We have two kids at sleep away camp for the first time this year and it is definitely a luxury but one we saved for.  Kids are almost 9 and going into 4th and this seemed like perfect timing for them.  I had a few summers with a week of camp paid for my Dad after my parents divorced but not two weeks away like this.  My husband never went to camp - summers were spent working on the farm.

I agree with the posters who said this is a great opportunity for the kids to exercise some independence in a safe environment.  We picked a close in Quaker run camp that has a focus on fun, art, outdoors, friendships, and time each day for quiet reflection.  Half the price of some of the other options we considered and friends and DCUM had good things to say about the camp.

Just saw the kids at mid term visitors day and they were in heaven.  Filthy but in heaven.  We will definitely make it happen for them next year.

And Mom and Dad got some uninterrupted time together - better then marriage counseling for us.[/quote]
