Sending your kids away to camp

Wow, so basicaly $800 for two weeks is awesome as long as your kid is the camp type?

I feel like i'd be a bad parent if we didn't ..but now the questions morphs..... if you're going to do it just once... what is absolutely the BEST age -for girls and for boys....

I worked at a camp but never went. I saw a lot of lonely kids who felt were being dumped by their parents. Lil Pete has been doing fencing camps the last three years (13-15). She isn't the camp type but loves bouting so they work for her. Lil Griff has not expressed any interest and life is busy enough without missing more kid time. They do a lot with their Grandparents and friends over the summer including Adirondac time so all they really miss is the Lord of the Flies stuff that they can get reading the political news.

Bad parents come in all flavors. This one decision has nothing to do with it.
