[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question:  this is not being snarky, I am genuinely interested.  The only sleep away camps I know are for Jewish girls or Jewish boys.  OP, is this a Jewish camp?  And do you think there are other sleep away camps that are not just for one (any) type of group?  I just wouldn't want to look into something and show up and have her/him feel left out.  I am curious if there is a more mixed camp, by gender, of course.  Thanks.  [/quote]

Seriously???  Sleep Away Camps are where upper class WASPs have been spending a portion of their childhood summers since the 1900s.  There are hundreds of these camps, on the East Coast they are mostly in North Carolina, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.  They are fairly expensive and many have long legacies. [/quote]

This is also a tradition among upper class AA's and Jews. And the really prominent WASP camps are in Michigan and upstate New York; MA is more AA  (Camp Atwater) and Maine (Camp Modin) more Jewish.[/quote]

Wrong. The most prominent WASP camps are in North Carolina and Maine/New Hampshire. No self respecting East Coaster sends their child to Michigan for camp.  Ugh.  Midwesterners love to send their kids to the East for camp.  The adirondacks are lovely but not a top chilldhood camp destination.
