[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s really sad. I imagine they are better off at camp than at home, though, if parents ship them out like that. Probably in boarding school, too. [/quote] There’s nothing sad about it. My teens have been going away to camp since they were 9. They are screen-free for 4 weeks and are active all day, doing sports, swimming in the lake, arts and crafts, cooking classes, learning camp songs and dances, etc. They love their camp friends, who they stay in touch with throughout the year and can’t wait to see. It’s a nice way for them to build independence in a safe environment and a very healthy break from being parented and from parenting.[/quote]
