[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]7 weeks of sleepaway camp [/quote]

Wow! I assume this is going to be expensive. How much a week on avg?[/quote]

My kids' camp is about $2K/week once you factor in travel[/quote]

Ours is $11,000 for 7 weeks.  [/quote]

Why have a child?[/quote]

It's not like parents who do this just ship their kids off and never think about them. I'm PP who went to camp, and I got a letter from one of them almost every day, and they visited once while I was there. I knew they missed me and cared about me. But kids that age aren't really interested in hanging out with their parents, though, frankly.[/quote]

You are wrong. My children love to hang out with us and I remember hanging out with my parents at that age as well. It’s you who doesn’t want to hang out with your children. [/quote]

It’s 7 weeks.  My kids hang out with me the other 10 months per year.  This is a few weeks they enjoy with their friends, other adults they have grown to know and trust, and they have an absolute blast.  They love going back every year.  It’s fine if that doesn’t work for your family/kids, but no need to insult others that make choices different from yours.  Plenty of kids home all summer hate hanging out with their parents and generally just dislike their parents, plenty of kids hate sleepaway camp.  Plenty of kids love their parents AND love sleepaway camp.  You can’t draw any conclusions about strangers based on sleepaway camp [/quote]
