I never went to camp as a kid. In fact, I don't think I ever really wanted to. I wasn't an outdoorsy child; I liked arts and crafts, dancing and using my imagination. Sports, building campfires, and even roasting s'mores (although I now LOVE them) weren't my cup of tea. And the thought of overnight camp did NOT appeal to me.
That's not to say that I don't value the overnight camp experience. I think it teaches a lot of skills, team building and problem solving. I actually went camping -- like, in a tent -- for the first time when I was in my 20s. We had a LOT of fun and we will likely go again, when the kids are older.
Ironically, I was a camp counsellor for 2 whole summers while I was in my early teens. These were day camps run through the City, though. I learned great leadership skills, some of which I still use today. And then there was dance camp, which really wasn't a "camp" per se, but a full week of dancing. Now THAT was my specialty.

Kids are really lucky nowadays; there are so many specialty camps and programs that are run all summer long. If overnight camp isn't your thing, that's ok. There are science camps, dance camps, gymnastics camps, sports camps. The whole point is to get out, meet new people, have fun, and create memories.
Glama Gal Tween Spa has an awesome camp program lined up this year. If I was a tween, I'd be ALL.OVER.IT.
