Thanks so much for all your advice thx1138!

I think if the boys go to a camp, it will only be for 1, maybe 2 weeks, so I'm not too worried about them being homesick. They've traveled without me before, so they should be fine in that respect.

I am a little bit worried about them not enjoying themselves and getting bored with camp. Sean is 12 and has a bit of an attitude, so I can see him getting really bored at a traditional summer camp. I think he'd be better at surf camp, especially if the other kids are older than him.

Landon does have asthma, and has to wear a wrist brace when he plays sports, so I would definitely have to talk to his counselor to make sure he's taking his medications and wearing his brace.

We live in California and the camps that we're looking into are about an hour or two away, so I would drop them off and pick them up.

I don't think any of their friends are going to camp, except for one who is going to camp for the whole summer in New Jersey. Should the boys ask their friends to go to camp with them?
