my 5 yo hates going to camp, complaining that it is boring and babyish. Problem is, my 3.5 yo is there too. If I pull the 5 yo out, my younger will not want to stay. I'm a SAHM with a baby at home. Camp is until 2. WWYD? The camp admin, btw, has been totally unresponsive. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

is the older one the kind of kid who would want to go to "take care of" the younger one? My mom used to pull that on me all the time! [ Reply | More

older does look out for younger, but it is not enough to keep her engaged there, I gather, since she has been complaining. I feel bad for younger but I don't want older to be bored. She might have more fun just tagging along with me. [ Reply | More

i'm having a similar problem with my 4 yo and camp this year. He is in hysterics every time I take him and I also have a new baby at home. He wants to be with me during the day; I had thought having a routine would be better for him, but think I was wrong. Figured out if I pull him now, I'll lose about 2K, since camp will not even consider a refund. We're both miserable! [ Reply | More

Those camps attached to schools are often crappy and overpriced the teachers need the money so they work but aren't much fun. I think the ones staffed with high school and college kids are more fun and worth the $. [ Reply | More

ITA. My ds is bored in camp too. Next year I am sending him to a real summer camp. Spending $1800 to hear nothing but complaints every morning is no fun. [ Reply | More

Even the expensive ones. We paid $3k or so to send 3 yo DD to Emanu-El last year and it was very lame. She is at real camp this summer. [ Reply | More
