Griff, I'm glad you got the progeny squared away. I'm gonna make some more general camp comments:

I went to traditional camps as a kid and hated, hated, hated almost every minute of it. I was sick a lot of the time, I wanted to be left alone, but I had to do fricken "activities." Just like Wednesday Adamms.

On the other hand, my kids went to Girl Scout Camp and loved, loved almost every minute of it.

A lot of it depends on the kid's personality and factors beyond your control. Camps are also expensive. Scouting camps are a good value, generally. Speciality camps, like Griff's fencing thing, are often quite expensive. Griff's lucky, too because there's a choice. In my benighted area of the world, the pickings are slim.

I'm interested to hear why no camps in the UK. I wonder why?
