I've been doing online searches for boarding schools for our difficult child.
One thing I found is a summer camp in a neighboring state. They don't have the dates and prices posted yet, but I signed up to get info when they do. It's called T------n. difficult child did very well at "regular" summer camp this yr--it was a wk. inside a college dorm, with-a choice of any 2 classes (he took The Science of Sports and forensics, and when easy child went, she took art and ceramics). He did horribly at Cub Scout camp ... hated the bugs, no AC (our kids are so spoiled!!!), hated everything. So, since he likes the dorm life, and a more structured environment, I'm very excited about this N.C. camp. He could possibly do both camps.
The boarding school whose description I like the best, is, unfortunately, located on the moon. Okay, it's actually in Oregon. And it is only for HS students. But the thing I like best is that they have a special section for adoptees to discuss issues. I haven't found any other places that incl. that as part of regular therapy.
So, for now, I'll stick with-summer camp, while I mull over whether it would take us the rest of our lives to pay off a loan of such astronomic proportions ...
And it's fun to dream ...
