Hi rdugirl, welcome
How long is the program? Hey, I don't see a problem with-that. I sent my son to an abbreviated version last summer and it was awesome.
(Also awesome was the price.
) But it was worth it.
I think wilderness programs are great.
I do not like the traditional military camp programs ... they emphasize discipline and toughness, over excitement and accomplishment, Know what I mean??
This a.m. I told my son that if he tells me, "I don't care," one more time, he will be charged 25 cents for ea time. He immediately retorted, "I meant that I don't care that I have to write the abstract for the science expo at school today." (We were having a conversation about it.)
I said, "That's the kind of thing I mean. That's your last warning."
"Only if I say it in front of you."
"Of course. If you say it in front of a tree in the middle of nowhere, the tree can't charge you money."
"Why would I say it in front of a tree?!"
Arg. Aspies.
Good luck.
