What are the benefits of sending a child to sleep away summer camp?

They do it for several reasons:

1. They went to camp when they were kids.

2. They think they need a "vacation" from parenthood.

3. They want their children to be with other children and get fresh air.

4. They want their children to learn independence.

5. They want to punish their children for bad behavior and think summer camp with "straighten them out."
