[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We sent our kid to three weeks despite lukewarm interest because friends were doing it and it was a disaster.  We messed that one up as parents and now he has sleep issues that we are working thriugh.  Do what's best for you.[/quote]

We sent ours for only week and she was gifted with lice halfway thru the week (as were most other cabin mates) and her whole cabin was forced to clean/wash/scrub/remake everything all night one night.  Screamed at by the inconvenienced counselors who were also tired.  Their reward?  They were not allowed to go on any excursions, group activities or pool/lake for the rest of the week.  They had to eat on their own too.  I was never told this until the final night a nurse called to tell us to clean everyone when she arrives home tomorrow.  We received no apology or partial reimbursement for her basically sitting in a cabin for 3 nights, 4 days.  Needless to say, it was our first and last week of sleep away camp.  My kids like being with us and we like being with them.  We don't see the need to spend that money.  [/quote]

It sounds like that was a lousy camp.  Not all camps are like this![/quote]
