[quote=Anonymous]I started going to an amazing camp in Vermont when I was eight -- for 8 full weeks. I went seven years and then returned as a counselor. It was absolutely transformative, gave me confidence, learned new skills that I still use today, connected me to nature. I could go on and on. That camp costs about 10k, I believe. And they are no phones, no screens. I wish I could afford to give my kids that experience of camp culture but all we can afford is two weeks at a lovely camp in WV -- they LOVE it. We are saving to send our oldest for a full month next year, where she will be a CIT and then a counselor the year after. FWIW I am from NY and sleepaway camp was the norm. There's even a program called The Fresh Air fund that sends inner-city out to the country for a couple of weeks. Most people recognize how important it is for humans to spend time in nature. It's not some wacky UMC indulgence.[/quote]
