- Summer Camp
Dear Mrs. Figgins:
We are a family of 4 (two kids 7 & 9 plus mom & dad) thinking about summer camp for the kids this year.
My husband thinks it would be great for us to have a little time without the kids. I want to go along with the idea but I’m scared out of my mind to have the kids away overnight.
Do you think it’s a bad or good idea?

Dear Michele and Dave:
Take time to do a little research.
Summer camp presents a wonderful opportunity for kids to expand their horizons, discover their strengths, and make lasting friends. It can add to the children’s development.
If you don’t want the kids away from home overnight, check out summer “day” camps. Many appreciate the support of parent volunteers, so you’ll be able to keep a close eye.
As an added benefit, allowing the kids this experience will also give Mom and Dad quality time.
