Sleep Away Camp Girls
May 23rd, 2007 by RBC
When you ask people who attended a sleep away camp when they were a kid, you’ll find that they recall the experience, not only fondly, but also as one of the most important things they did as a child. A famous example here is Michael Eisner and his book about camp. There’s a lot to it, and we’ve discussed the benefits of attending camp before, but this photo speaks to the empowerment and self confidence girls often develop at summer camp. Being away from home and parents, being challenged and succeeding in different activities, and being friends with so many different types of people— all weave together to give camp its secret power.

Ally Cat, Yes, it’s super fun! Yes, we have talent shows (Miss RBC!

[...] Camp was a respite, an antidote many parents understood as valuable. We’ve discussed this before, but certainly the same can be said [...]
