[quote=Anonymous]I have three kids, two of whom are sleep away camp age. I send everyone away (except the baby, who has day care) at different times so that I get at least one solid week of one-on-one time with each child during the summer. I get to geek-out for a week with my science kid, go rock climbing hiking with my jock kid, and go to toddler times with the baby. I couldn't do any of that if I didn't work things out this way. But to be clear, I don't send the older kids to camp to get rid of them. Rather, I do not have the means to teach archery or sailing in my yard. Nor am I a team of 8 boys working on team-buiding exercises. Horses and powerboats? Nope. Don't have those either. There are precious few opportunities for boys to be boys in their day-to-day life and they cherish their time at camp for that. In fact, they beg me for more weeks of camp than they already do have.
