[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]75k for us . Trust the process [/quote]

Wow! What does this include?[/quote]

It includes their children not living at their home for most of the summer. Not what I have in mind. [/quote]

Don’t be jealous [/quote]

NP.  The pricey sleepaway camps are like $15-16K for 7 to 8 weeks.  Even if the PP is doing that for all three of her DCs. that's more like 50k.  I'm curious about the 75k too!

I work full-time...

My 10 yo DD (rising 5th grader) will be doing 4 weeks of sleepaway camp (which she looooooooooooooooooves to the point of being somewhat obsessed with) for $7,500, and then three weeks of a park district swim + art camp for $1,200.

My 6 yo DD (rising 1st grader) will be doing 6 weeks of a private day camp (which she looooooved last year) for $6,000.  I realize that this is ridiculously expensive for day camp, but it includes round trip bus transportation that picks up/drops off at our front door, and those bus trips essentially double as before and aftercare  (day is from 8:45 to 4:30 with bus) which is enough coverage for us.  She also gets daily swim instruction and daily free swim period, a very small camper group, tons of fun specialty activities, outside vendors who come do performances and activities, use of beautiful grounds and outdoor spaces, etc.  She will have several good friends in her camper group.

Remaining weeks will be some nothing-fancy travel (drive to rented beach house with cousins), some time spent at pool or outings with either myself or DH who will each take some days off, and also some days entertaining themselves at home while I WFH.  [/quote]

Maybe it includes airfare if it’s an international camp? Or it includes expensive activities like equestrian?[/quote]
