It disturbs me that these camps are probably packed, yet my 9 year-old daughter's invention/science camp here in FL was canceled for lack of participants. (shakes head) Why not just hand your kid 40 bucks and say, "Here, go buy some overpriced clothing that is probably too old for you, anyway." Hi there, and thanks for the mention!

It reminds me of the field trips my daughter had with the Girl Scouts,when she got merit badges for going to the mall. I really need to vomit.

All the other girls are in cheerleading and tennis and dance and hip hop and cooking classes. 7 boys and Ainsley. They taunted her the first day. "Girls are last" because she was the last in line. Why didn't any other parents put their daughters in the science class? Ainsley is the only girl in the Science class at the kids camp sponsored by the community college.
