[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could never send their kids my away for that long in the summer. I grew up in the Midwest and no one did except many Jewish families- it was a big part of their culture and most of my Jewish friends had a great time.

Why are you sending your kid away, OP? And how old? It’s strange because you don’t seem to want to but feel like you have to?[/quote]

op - we live in NYC and among the tristate middle class families it's very common, and something that the kids hear about and get super excited to do.

I know from researching it that a lot of kids have really phenomenal experiences and knowing my kid, who loves sports and loved his school week long field trip, and loves the day camp we send him to, that this could be really impactful and a really wonderful time for him. He also LOVES sports and will get to do like 6-8 of them each and every day all day long. Like - heaven for him.

I REALLY dont want to send him away. but i also want to honor that he wants this experience and it feels like it might be a fit for him. It feels selfish to hold him back just bc i will miss him, if it becomes this great experience. and if it doesn't then fine![/quote]
