[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I WOH and we have gone from 8 weeks of day camp to 6 and now 4 at 7, just about to turn 8. A lot of it though is that I have more flexibility with work now, school is starting earlier, and DS is starting on the swim team. I agree with others  that two to three week of complete downtime is probably enough. As much as I like to let DS have downtime; he invariably ends up on the iPad, etc.

I have also though about some half day options as a nice balance. There is a golf camp near us that is half day, and we are thinking of trying that.

I'm the mom who let her kids start not having full summers of camp at 12. But how do you manage half day camps? Do you live near the home or camp? Hire someone to drive?

My youngest is desperate for a particular half-day camp, and I'm fine with him (14) being home alone for half a day. But the camp isn't close enough to our house for him to bike or walk safely, no public transportation options... and I'm going to be at work. I'd love ideas if you have them.[/quote]
