[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s the age we noticed a lot of our kids’ peers started sleepaway camp. I recall one friend from my son’s class who went for the entire summer before 2nd. The parents did the same with the older sibling and insisted they loved it. It seemed over the top but that little boy came back happy as could be. He still attends the same camp but is now a counselor as a rising senior. Personally, I would have really missed my young kids if they went away that long but it seems to work for some families so I try not to judge. [/quote] Don’t tell me, let me guess. The parents travelled in Europe while the kids were at camp. [/quote] NP. Maybe, but not this parent. My then 7yo went for a half week, at 8 went for a week, and this year at 9yo went for two weeks. I did not go to Europe. I, a single mom, stayed home and worked to pay for said camp (which was a reasonably priced GS camp)[/quote]
