She thought she wanted to be a camp counselor...but life led her elsewhere. How cool that you and your kids have all gone to the same camp...Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667178624061122421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13080538.post-74723575801546840002008-07-27T17:09:00.000-04:002008-07-27T17:09:00.000-04:00The message that the director sends to both parent...The message that the director sends to both parents and staff is very similar to that of my son's camp. It's all about connections, family, and relationships in an environment that values each child's individuality and ability to take risks in a safe and supportive setting. (That was a VERY poorly written sentence!) The independence and self-confidence that are fostered in such a setting are really quite remarkable.

I think they would love it! They leave today for one week which cost just over $1300 for the two of them. I have to write another check today because the 13yo wants to waterski. It is their first time at sleepaway camp - one is excited, the other a bit more apprehensive.<BR/><BR/>The NYT article was funny although a bit scary because it was news and not satire. I promise to be too busy this week to barely notice my kids are gone.<BR/><BR/>The camp your lovely daughter is at sounds terrific. It sounds like the director sets a wonderful standard and tone for staff and campers alike. How much longer until the lovely daughter comes home?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
