Need recs? Send your kid to camp...

[Lightning Bug!]

And I thought my camp was fancy for having brunch in your pajamas on Sunday mornings, with fruit trays, pastries, and hot chocolate...Oh, and when they built the bathrooms that had sinks with full countertops and outlets...I do not see how this can be good for young girls. Won't they then expect that total comfort is their due? Then when they get to college, their dorm rooms will have to be transformed into little palaces? And their first apartments outfitted by their parents? And then they're going to get married and be sorely disappointed in their newlywed lifestyle, unless they marry someone who can provide in the style to which they are accustomed (at the age of 25 or whatever?)...my children will be getting swimming holes...

Camp Greystone is where most of the kids from around here go, that and one other one. Now that all of our girls are older, they are staying longer and longer. My daughter is staying at camp two weeks now, and it just about kills me! But she loves it so much, and yes, the counselors are great with them. So we mortgage our house and let her go. Her goal is to become an "LIT" (Leader in Training) when she is old enough. Some girls stay three weeks and even a month, but that's just a little too much for me. Especially w/ the way we do our school year now, we only have two months of summer vacation.

I've heard Kanakuk in Missouri referred to as Camp Chi-O since there are always so many Chi Omega counselors. They hire 2,500 college-age counselors each summer!?! Big business.

I swear everyone from Arkansas goes to kankuk at least once.

It's mostly Pi Phi's that work there, from Arkansas in my experience.

The family who owns it can count a former Chi Omega National Officer among their family tree.

Since they've been in business since 1923, I'm thinking the Greek affiliation of the counselors has changed from time to time.
