The very concept of unsupervised kids is so anathema to society today. Kids need spaces to just be kids.

Summer camp - the overnight, week or two long kind, is a great middle ground. Yes, kids are "supervised". But... Mostly, just by bigger kids. Who are there, mostly to have fun too. Run, play, swim, learn about themselves and other people. My boys both spent every summer for 12+ years at camp. And they always grew, so, so much while they were there.

I will never forget volunteering with a magat just after the election and her being like 'just wait! Everything is going to get cheaper in a month or two!' A huge part of me would love to chat with her now. How you like $4-5 gas?
