What are you doing with her instead?
No local day camp for her age.

If there is no day camp, you dont want sleepaway the girls who stay home try to find jobs.

Mine is going for half and working as a preschool assistant in day camp the other half. Many camps had junior staff positions. I also know a bunch that are working as assistants in backyard camps.

I would have loved for dd to go to sleepaway. She didn't get in, like many others.

she is working in a daycamp one half.
The question is what she could do the other half that would be fun, since she's not going to camp.

I have a friend who does a camp 1st half for girls finishing 6th and 7th. If you can get a group of girls together you can make something fun for them. The girls love her program and it gives them a month of structure since sleepaway is typically only half a summer here.

Any relatives in another city she could visit for part of the time? Maybe even one where there's a day camp she could go to?

My daughter didn't get in and worked in a backyard type camp and teen night camp. She made some money and had a blast.

Not in Lakewood.

Teen night camp would be 2 nights a week.
Is that what it is in Lakewood?

UPDATE:

I want to thank everyone for responding to this thread from June. (I can't believe I was still working on this that late in the year last year!!!)

Thanks to you ladies, I thought out of the box, and ended up doing a hybrid of suggestions that came up in this thread!

Dd is still disappointed that she didn't go to sleep away camp, but she had a few weeks of Amazingfun last summer!!!
