[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are sending your child to a 10k+ summer camp that is several states away, yes this is a joint parent decision.  BUT, if you can financially make it happen I think it is worth it.

Both my kids go to 7 week summer sleep away camps in Maine.  They are expensive, about 11k each.  There are ones that are much more expensive.  They love going and have the best time there. Good wholesome fun, not a screen in sight.  They actually have to talk face to face, interact, be bored, learn new skills, resolve small conflicts, etc.  It is an invaluable experience.  We are not “fancy” people either (whatever you meant by that). My children attend high FARMS public schools.  While it is true,  no one at camp is living anywhere close to poverty, plenty of camp families are not billionaires.

Sleepaway camp isn’t a must, but if it won’t hurt you financially, your kids will benefit from it.  Send them[/quote]

Can you share which camp in Maine? Looking for something similar (although this price point is high for me)...[/quote]

There are so many camps in Maine.  But you likely won’t find one 6+ weeks for under 10k[/quote]
