  Disclaimer: I am a camper through and through. I would return in a minute which is one of the reasons I love  living vicariously  through 7 weeks of overnight camp through my son's eyes.  That said; I realize overnight camp is not for every child.  As much as it was/is a part of my life; I realized that my older son wants no part of it.  And, with a heavy sigh, that's okay. I have had many conversations with people about the decision to send my 10 year old son to overnight camp. Not just any overnight camp. MY overnight camp. It is true that when we discussed the possibility of camp we toured one and only one camp. Was I biased? Of course I was. Did I know my kid? Yes.  I knew that if he was going to go anywhere, this would be the place. After 3 1/2 weeks last year, he called us asking to stay the full 7 week session.  After I squealed with delight (and cringed at the thought of what another session would cost us) I did the happy dance. My kid loved camp. My happy place is
