[quote=Anonymous]I worked at a summer camp while in university. Some kids truly thrive at camp and the age when they start often depends on the parents' personal experiences. We did not push sleepaway camp but DD asked to go with friends at age 10. She went for 2 weeks and had a blast. At 12, she went for 4 weeks. If she had not wanted to go, we would not have made her. She is very independent, social, and outdoorsy so it works for her. Many of her friends who live in DC continue to go to camp for between 2 and 4 weeks now that they are teens. We used to live in New York and her Jewish friends started earlier and went for longer periods of time, ie 4 or 8 weeks. Both communities are solidly upper middle class. [/quote]
