dyk It used to be that the camp was to get kids used to being away from mom and dad, but it seems like now it's to break the parents from that

DYK no ur not extreme.....personally DH & I are happy when the girls don't call every minute at sleep away camps
DYK means the kids are busy...its when they have lots of down time they think of calling home IMHO

dyk there is 4H participation in the county fairs by 4H but our group doesn't do the county fairs, they do go to the state fair though, all the way up in Ithaca
dyk the two years that Kayleigh did sleepaway camp, she was gone 12 nights and I received 2 letters, she was too busy to write and it didn't bother me
dyk the only times I called the camp were to let them know that she'd requested bigger towels and I wanted to drop them off which they were fine with and I was clear that I had no need to see her, and when I did have to arrange to get her an hour early on pickup day which they were not thrilled with, but Ian was on an all day camp trip, and her pickup time interfered with the time his bus would come back, and I couldn't change the time of the bus so it had to be her.

DYK I hope I don't meet many parents like that lol
DYK but I know how it can be.....last season when DH coached Jamie's lacrosse team, there was a mom that always came up to DH right after the games ended
DYK she wanted to know why her dd didn't play midfield more or why DH put her on defense...mind you this is a rec league of 8-9 yo!!! Its more about learning basic skills than winning at this age
DYK drove my DH nuts!
