How old is old enough to leave home?

Spot on, onetiger!  I remember feeling so grown up as I was going away to summer camp.  And when I did get homesick, after about a week, I thought, 'Well, I nagged them to come here; now I have to deal.' 

It's a really important lesson and a good age to learn it!

My girls both went to summer camp in America when they we were there on vacation. (for OneTiger-that would be Sky Lake )  They have so much fun and they keep them so busy that they don't have time to miss you.  He'll be fine.  If you do have concerns just talk to the leaders.  I'm sure they'll be able to answer any questions.

I went to Sky Lake!!!  I LOVED it...went a few years until I was too old & had to find a good paying job!  It was a great experience, particularly for a shy kid...I made new friends and learned how to make 'small talk'.

I guessed you would have!  I went there too.
