[quote=Anonymous]I grew up going to camp and loved it. I have married into a family that never sent children to camp and think that it is strange. I have had a lot of time to think about it and have come up with a few ideas. People are scared of the unknown. If you did not grow up going to camp and have no reference for it at all how would they be able to judge? Also, when i was growing up I spent the night at my grandparents house all the time, took plane rides to visit family alone from an early age, and was challenged to be independent. The children in my IL family have had none of these experiences and are very sheltered. Sleep away camp is something that a whole family needs to accept and support. [/quote]
