Is there an interest in a summer night camp for newly graduated 12 graders and working girls? 2-3 times a week. obviously an over the top fantastic program where your daughter will surely have a great time. Would she consider it? is it something she always wished for? neh, they're working and just want to relax at home once they get home? they're still going to camp?

Summer night program, yes but not over the top. It doesn't fit with us hashkafa wise.

At that age they are saving money for seminary as are the parents… can’t imagine they’d want to pay for such program at that point (I doubt it would be cheap). I would imagine if they are comfortable they’d be in sleepaway.

Right, it wouldn't be cheap. It would include trips and unique entertainment and games. If they are working then they would probably have to stay local. Unless they work in a school.

Thanks everyone for sharing your perspectives!

At that age most drive and are independent enough to come up with their own entertainment.

These girls (who stay local) many of them work in the local daycamps. Their night schedule is very fluid and unknown between staff meetings, prep, night trips, staff nights, overnights.

I would not be willing to pay big bucks, especially not knowing if my daughter can actually participate

My daughter (11th grade) will likely go to camp one half as staff and work the other half. To be honest, I'm not looking to pay more $$$ for her entertainment at this point. I've done my dues (no pun intended) of paying for camp/day camp/etc....for her over the years. At this point we're trying to save for seminary and IYH her wedding, while paying off our previous two and helping our marrieds.....

Thank you for sharing your perspective!

How much would you yes be willing to pay? What's a reasonable amount to ask? and what's considered expensive?

I run a camp for teens. And was approached by 3 working girls to do a program for graduated/working girls. I would do it if I know there is a demand. Can't decide if I should take the plunge.

I don't know.
My daughter is in seminary now. 1 half she'll work in a big camp, 1 half she'll see, start job searching.
I don't think id sign her up in advance for any amount because there would be no guarantee that she'd actually be able to attend.

Maybe make it more flexible. Girls can sign up by the activity up to 48 hours in advance.
Meaning, if she knew she had nothing on the schedule, she can join for $100 for the concert or water park trip or whatever.
But if it doesn't work into her schedule, it's not something that interests her, or doesn't work with her hashkafos, she doesn't have to sign up.

But like chayalle said. I've paid for years of entertainment for her for the summer. Shes working now, and I'm done. Id maybe be willing to pay $50 here, $100 here, $150 for one Shabbos if its something important to her.
But maybe Max at $300 the whole summer

We're talking girls 17-20

In college I would have liked access to fun places at group rates. Not a camp more lets get a group together and go together.

I can’t see my daughter who finished 12th grade last year wanting to go. She was so excited with her new license she was happy just doing errands and going for slurpees

The girls that age tend to run their own night camps and do their own entertainment. They finally have their license they don't need you
