[quote=Anonymous]My child goes to a fairly sporty overnight camp, and I did the same many years ago. Back then kids would start going when they were about 9 and pretty consistently keep going until they are 14-15 - very few kids dropped out for travel tournaments and the like.

Now so many kids peel off because they have travel sports events in the summer, and the coaches give them a lot of grief for going to camp over travel. And many of these kids are not superstars with any chance at playing in college. And they would be going to a sports camp where they will be training. But they have to obey the coach and they think they might be "seen" at the summer tournaments.

Ironically, my child has a friend who is very, very highly ranked in their sport and this summer went to camp for a few weeks. I don't know if it was a break in the summer schedule or they just told their coach that this is what they were doing and deal with it because they are the star of the team so they're not getting cut. But I know the kid really enjoyed being at camp, away from the grind, still playing lots of sports but also doing other things.[/quote]
