[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grew up on Long Island, NY. Tons of kids went to sleep-away camp, all the others went to day camp. I literally did not know of ANY kid who didn't go to camp until the summer before 8th grade. Nobody asked, "Are you going to camp?" but "Which camp do you go to?" Also everyone went for eight weeks. The idea of one week here and two weeks there is completely foreign to me. My kids go for 8 weeks. I can't understand all these people constantly going to the beach and on all these various trips. We have to work. [/quote] .[/quote] I grew up in an affluent area of Long Island as well. I never went to sleep-away camp, or even a day camp other than mini-programs. Most of my Jewish friends went to sleep away camps for the summer, but none of my Roman Catholic (mostly Italian) friends did -- I was Catholic as well. I think it was a cultural thing to some extent. [/quote]
