Local passions: Summer Camp
The tradition of children’s summer camp is a uniquely American one. And it’s observed by over 11 million American children every year. For them, it’s almost a rite of passage – time away from their parents when they develop social and practical skills for adulthood. It’s all done out in the countryside, under the guidance and protection of experienced camp staff.
For parents living in New York, of course, camp is also the perfect way to take a holiday from the kids – knowing they’re equally glad to be away. While they’re building rafts and friendships, you can be relaxing in your favourite East Side restaurant, dawdling at the Met, or just kicking back in the apartment, luxuriating in the quiet.
