[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s regional. Pretty much majority of people going to sleepaway camps over 2 weeks long are east coasters. Of any or no religion. It’s pretty much unheard of in the Midwest. Girls camps can start as young as 6, boys camps 8. Most kids start between 8-10 though. [/quote] This is ridiculous. There are a ton of sleepaway camps in the Midwest and many families send their children. [/quote] Yeah, like one week of girls scout camp or maybe Interlochen. But it is rare for a Midwest family to send kids to a sleepaway camp for 7 weeks, unless parents grew up on east coast and went to one. [/quote] Also rare on the west coast. One-week camps are the norm. [/quote] I suspect it's rare on the east coast. I can't think of any family I know who sent kids, particularly 8 year olds, for more than 4 weeks at a time in a summer.[/quote]
