[quote=Anonymous]This thread has become so awful. I'm sorry op. I had truly no idea people felt this way about sleep away camp. It may not be a good fit for some families and kids, everyone doesn't have to do all the same things! And of course kids can grow up independent and happy and all the things without going to sleep away camp. OF COURSE. And it's also true that some kids LOVE it. I have such incredible memories from my time at sleep away camp. I also have incredible memories with my family who loved me very much and could certainly take care of me...

I hope to send my kids to camp one day and see if they like it. If they do, we can keep doing it. If they don't, we'll try other things. But either way it will only be a little portion of their summer and even so, I will certainly miss not having them at home! That piece makes me the most hesitant as I want to spend their summers with them. And yet, I do think there is so much fun to be had and I really remember the feeling of independence it gave me that I think can be great given kids don't get as much of that as they used to.[/quote]
