Summer Camps

I was wondering lately about summer camps. Now that summer is in full swing do you send your kids to summer camp? Where do you find them? I recently checked out this site and it looked like a really good resource of day camps and residential camps all over the country and specialized programs. There even some right at Yale University. I can probably expect to see young people around the campus as well this year. I did notice that some camps start in mid June. There are a lot of school systems that finish late don’t they?




I have been to two residential camps (maybe three with my family). One was in Sharon CT (a Girl Scout camp from hell) and a Boy Scout camp in Winsted. My explorer post went to that one for a week every summer to learn things about the police department. The third one was for camping and they had activities. It was called World Fellowship in New Hampshire. Two of my cousins worked there during a few summers.



Anyway, when I would visit the sites for the camps I would check out their schedules their activities their location. If I was a kid again I would love to go to any of these camps. You would have to plan months in advance for these things.



So tell me what was your experience? Do many go into deep searches and what have your experiences been? Would you do it again? Did your children think of it?



I would be very interested in hearing what your experiences were like.
