[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not wealthy, I am lucky if my family takes one vacation a year. I just don't want random days off in the middle of the week. I don't think that's too much to ask.

It's also far more affordable to pay for one full week of summer camp vs 5 scattered days of day camp. The cheapest day camp near me is $60/day but I pay $200 for a full week of summer camp.[/quote]

I can handle splitting the random days with my husband and skip camps for those days, so it is much easier for me to have those.

The scattered weeks of summer camp are confusing for everyone.  One week soccer, the next art with different drop offs and pick ups.  It is not my favorite. I just want a shorter summers and I don’t think that is too much to ask either. [/quote]

Can't you just alternate days or weeks with your husband during the summer if you don't want to send your child/ren to camp? That said camp is good for entertaining your child/ren during the summer while they probably don't get that on a random day at home especially with homework to do. It's a pain that camp is expensive and I symphonize with that but your child/ren should get entertained on a regular basis.[/quote]

No we can’t rotate because 5 days spread out over the year is much fewer than 8 weeks of summer vacation.  Can we do that for one week? Maybe, but it is easier to be off work a day here and there than it is MWF of a straight week.  This is how work works.

I am cool with boredom at home and think it may be good to have a rest day now and then to chill. Why do you think  being constantly “entertained” is a good thing? Kids are people, not circus animals.[/quote]
