I guess I don't see anything wrong with wanting your child to have the kind of summer he wants. I've arranged my summer so that my kids can have the kind of summer they want--but it's also what I think is good for them. That doesn't mean they get everything they want or that they get to do everything when they want to do it. And if I had to woh in the summer, I'd do what I could to give them the same kind of summer. I know woh parents who want their kids to have an unstructured summer who hire college kids to sit in the summer, and I know woh parents who want their kids to go to camp all summer (and that's what the kids want too). Doesn't everybody take their kids' desires into consideration?
The kinds of camps Crusader described are, in my area, mostly used by parents who work, who are not home to do those types of activities with their children.

Why hide your light under a bushel of bears, I ask you?
Yep, and people who speak to other parents in their children's schools would understand as they communicate and inform them of what is going on with their children. Not sure why you would NOT speak to others. Maybe it is a social issue-?

a urban/suburban/rural issue.
No the issue is that there are plenty of things kids can do to keep them busy without having to go to camp.
"Realism" has a funny definition on this board.
Fair enough, my words were not read as written.
