I wouldn't really recommend this one unless your child is signing up with a friend or two. Being new to the area, we joined in the hopes of her meeting other kids her age but there was only one other Counselor in Training who was one year younger. I understand that this is beyond the camps control, but it's worth noting that if we had chosen a different week she might have been the only one in her group.
