[quote=Anonymous]My almost 9-year old is going for the second summer, one week last summer and two weeks this summer. He's going because he loves it. Neither DH nor I ever went to sleep away camp (grew up in the Midwest). His buddy from school wanted to do it last year so they both went. This year they have 3 additional friends going. I work FT so my kids are in camp most of the summer anyway (except for a week at the grandparents and a week of family vacation), so I just sign DS up for the sleep away camp for 2 weeks instead of a day camp. Younger DS is a completely different kid, and I don't expect that he will ever want to go, which is just fine. And I'm not sending my kid away for "relief." Last year I definitely felt his absence, and it was kind of a long week for me and DH (and younger DS). We actually used that time to do some special things with just younger DS, which he really enjoyed. [/quote]
