This NYTimes article about kid summer camps is not paywalled and highly entertaining. It describes extremely pretentious people and their similarly pretentious concerns. I’m sharing so that people could have a quiet chuckle over these rich weirdos.

7-year olds need to have a summer itinerary!?
I am very glad that my parents did not need to decide to have an “opt-out adventure” to leave me “rotting”… the language used in the article itself is quite revealing (who talks like that about normal downtime with their kids!)

I know some parents who arrange the entire summer camp schedule in March for optimal results. From them I leaned that what camps to attend is a serious consideration and one needs to have a battle plan to get their children into the right camps (this includes registering them within minutes of when the registration window opens so they don’t miss their chance). (Un)fortunately for my child, I am too disorganized for this (and also don’t care to investigate the options) so we just default to a summer camp offered by our wonderful school, where they can stay safe and have fun while I work. It is funny to find out that things that should really be a no-brainer are a source of anxiety for so many…
