ramateshkolian – I see your point, and I personally don’t send to these camps, but I am in Israel – I think the others’ point is that, at least in the states, it has gotten to a point of peer pressure, and parents who can’t afford it feel they have to send to camp and seminary because all their kids friends are going (besides the obviously great experience that is more than money but if it was just that they could make a “shikul” based on their finances – the peer pressure and making their kid not feel like a neb makes them feel they have to stretch beyond what they can…hence the resentment about the expense…IMHO)
