Personally when I sent my kid off for the first time, I was really nervous and worried about letting him go. It lasted a week and I can never forget his face when he saw me to pick him up. It really depends on the age group, I wouldn't send a kid away until he is 15+.Mark Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04522421001794927252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810566902374575347.post-42320623342273709982014-01-20T14:25:11.662-08:002014-01-20T14:25:11.662-08:00I've sent my kids away and it is a really hard...I've sent my kids away and it is a really hard week.

She started going to sleepaway camp when she was eleven. I only let her go because I was very close to some of the others who were allowing there children to go, and it was close to home, and very highly recommended. She went every year since, and then as she got to be an older teen she worked on staff as clean up crew, then was a jr counselor and the past year senior counselor. I always loved camp and she does too! My two youngest 6 and 8 have not been yet, and they are way more attached to home so most likely will be a while before they go! I think it really depends on circumstances....
