[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To those you send kids to camp: Is it for child care because you work? I didn't raise my kids in DC and am shocked by the amount of money that people spend on camps![/quote] No. I stay at home. We're sending our child because she wants to go and we think it's a valuable experience: time outdoors, exposure to new people from many different places, new activities, confidence building. [/quote] They get great confidence building because they are there managing themselves - no mom or dad. DD went to Girl Scout camp and you aren't even allowed to call home - no electronics no calls. They are responsible for themselves and they all do chores. And they have fun. The independence is empowering and exhilarating for them. GS camp is affordable as well [/quote]
