The Camp Domino Effect

Last week I started the discussion on some of Regan's camps. This week I wanted to move onto Rebecca's camp.....just one....not four like her sister. Although Rebecca's one camp is one month long. This started as my all out addiction to "The Parent Trap" and the fact that I loved summer camp so much as a kid that I never wanted to stay just a week...I wanted to stay all summer. Well Rebecca goes one month every year to the Texas Hill Country for complete girl empowerment and every activity known to mankind. This year will be her third year and she just loves it! She has best friends from all over the country that she writes to and keeps up with all year and then every June they see each other again for a whole month.

Basically all year round I gather stuff to add to her trunk to get ready for her activity schedule....she is not an arts and crafts kind of girl she only likes the sport activities, and most importantly horseback riding has become her new favorite. Last year we borrowed a riding helmet for her because I saw no point in buying one if she wasn't going to like it. Well she adored riding so I am looking to buy her a helmet this year. I want to make sure she is covered for any horse supplies she might need, and that way I have some of her packing already started.

How wise and fore-seeing you are! My daughter's b-day was yesterday and every year she gets short changed (not enough money, energy, time) b/c of Christmas being just two weeks or so prior. My new plan is to buy her gift and make all plans for her birthday at the beginning of November. I hope I remember . ..

I gotta ask.... How can you afford a month of camp? I checked into Girl Scout camp for my daughter, and it was $300 for one week! If she went for a month, that would be almost as much as our mortgage payment. JUST FOR CAMP. How do you pay for that? Plus Reagan's camps (the ones that aren't free)? PLUS pay for food for yourself???
