[quote=Anonymous]This thread has a tell; its not that POCs don't enjoy or want their children to go to sleepaway camps; we just know that these camps skew white especially waspy-wealthy, and choose not to send our children to those environments. While demographics are changing, there has not been enough critical mass of wealthy POCs to diversify wealth-correlated summer activities. A bigger tell, is that OP couldn't ask her close-circle POC friends which camps they are going to this summer and DC can join - hence the crowd source from DCUM. Our children want the organic experience of having genuine fun with friends and so we typically coordinate plans or find experiences and locations that are more diverse than not (think soccer camp, or a coordinated cruise) No one wants to send their child to a place where they are token and uncomfortable. So OP - the answer is Letts, or find out what your child's close friends are doing and join them....[/quote]
