Yes. Also whats the alternative. Its not free to keep them home. All the trips and gas and activities cost money. Past pre school age my kids wont just sit around the house. So its pick your poison.

I'm comparing to last year. Sent to the exact same camp. It was under 800 (maybe 765)?
I don't know, am I living in LaLa land? This is only one kid! I don't make enough money to send all of my kids for this price for one half! It's not even worth it for me to work! Are people paying this much just to keep their jobs?

That's not bad, $50/week more than last year...
Unfortunately daycamp is very expensive. Confused

I just checked out the rates for our local day camp on Long Island:

Half Summer $2,700
Full Summer $3,900

Boy, am I glad our day camp days are in the past. We're also on our last year of yeshiva tuition ($20K+), and I can't wait until that money gets to stay in my savings account.
