[quote=Anonymous]What is your longer term plan?  If you did the camp, would you then return to your parents' house to live?  If so, you really should quarantine at your house for 2 weeks before returning, can you manage that?  Be honest.  If you are planning to return, your parents should also get a say in this.

How far is your home from your parents?  I also have an 8-year-old and am sympathetic.  There just isn't a substitute for seeing friends in person at that age.  I have an 11-year-old who has been much more satisfied with facetime and online chatting, but my younger one isn't.  We are not doing camp but have buddied up with one family and are doing outdoor playdates without masks or social distancing.  Everyone is making their own decisions right now.  Can you return home for a week or so and give her a chance to see 1-2 of her friends in your backyard instead of camp?

That said, plenty of people are sending their kids to camp.  I do think, since she now knows that camp is an option, you should think about what you can offer her if you do not send her to camp, since it sounds like she'll be extremely disappointed.[/quote]
