[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ignor these posters, OP.  Most of them have no idea what sleep away camp is all about.  I went to one for my entire childhood , from 8 to 16.  I wrote letters to my parents and grandparents and some friends.  They all wrote to me to.  I still have some of those letters.  My kids are at camp for their 5th summer , they are 12 (DD) and 15 (DS).  I expect and get letters and I write to them as well.  In fact, the letter I received from my DD today asked why I haven't written more this summer. My son doesn't write as often or give many details and his letters are much funnier but, he writes too and he loves getting letters from me.   My kids and I get along well and enjoy each other.  Maybe the rest of you PPs have crappy relationships with your kids.  My kids like me amd I like them.  Besides, writing letters is an important part of the whole camp experience especially in this day and age when everything is electronic.  We do it because we like to tell each other what we are doing.[/quote]

This is not typical.  I (a female) went to sleepaway camp, as did my older brother.  Now my kids and his all go ("tradition ... tradition!"). I wrote to friends but rarely my parents.  My brother never-ever wrote home, no idea if he wrote to friends but I doubt it.  Our high maintenance mother still laments it.  My daughter writes about once a week, mainly to ask me to send her things ... The camp requires that they write home once a week, but my son often seems to bypass that requirement - the 2 letters over a 4 week period that I've received from him are along the lines of, "Hi. Love, Adam" and "They are making my write you, From Adam."  He is 13, not 5, by the way.  Both kids adore camp.  No news is good news, op ...[/quote]
