These parents obviously have no clue why they should be sending kids to camp, and it’s not just so Mommy and Daddy can take their dream vacations (probably separately). My kids packed for camp themselves, starting at age 11. They found the list of what they needed and checked to make sure they had everything. I went through their lists and asked if they had everything, but it was their responsibility to pack, and I didn’t physically check on whether they did it correctly.
The difference is I’m not raising dependent democrats. My kids are the productive ones that they are counting on to protect and care for their inept parasites.
They're sending their children to camp for the whole summer in order to be rid of them. If paying $1,000 for packing help makes them feel better about it ... cebu, it's only money.
I went to Bible camp for a week every Summer. I can still remember the excitement when the list of “items to bring” came in the mail...I spent hours getting things ready BY MYSELF...starting when I was about 8 year old.
Thread count on sheets?? We slept on 30-year-old mattresses, in metal bunk beds (probably left over from some WWII barracks). That was not counting the days where we went “into the field” when we slept on the ground in pup tents a two-mile hike from the “main” camp (one night a tornado came through just a 1/2 mile away).
The first year, a horse stepped on my foot; which I’m sure in retrospect resulted in a broken toe...but after a good crying session I just “got over it.” I’m fairly certain that unless a limb was actually severed, our teenaged camp counselors would have remained completely unconcerned. And, we loved it.
