Just day type ones?

I live abroad and my Dd, almost 6, will be off school, on summer holidays for 11-12 weeks. Seeing lots of people putting kids in daytime type camps, is 5 too young to do this, is it necessary or should I just let Dd play in the garden, paddling pool, beach etc and arrange play dates?
Feel the pressure to do it, and the cost

Summer camps ae an horrendous concept! Be with your kids!

Horrendous concept 😂

I had a great time at summer camps when I was primary school aged.

"Horrendous concepts". Eh? Yes, doing crafts/ drama/playing cricket for a week with their mates will scar them for life.

Some of us have to use them to work OP. If you don't want to, then don't. She's only 5 she doesn't need to go.

@VestibuleVirgin It’s not the whole summer! They have options for two days per week or every day for a full week. I’m seeing everyone around me sign their kids up to keep them entertained, especially for that amount of time, I’m wondering how we’ll cope for almost 3 months and I love being with my Dd
