Sending your kids away to camp

To Brits it's the stuff Ameican kid movies and books are made of. Fiction. Like Poison Ivy. But here it's real. For the better off folks,at least. Many of my kids' friends go to a YMCA camp "up north" for a couple of weeks each summer. No-one has anything bad to say about it, and plenty of good. We're thinking about sending Hebe (aged 12) next summer. She'd have a blast, but it's not cheap ($800 for two weeks) ...not expensive either, but....

Do you send your kids? Did you go as a kid? tell me what it's really like. when is the best age? If we send all our kids once, is it best to send them individually at a certain age as a "right of passage" or all together? Or does that depend on the kids?
