    As a Boy Scout I did...it was fun.

    I went to Sky Y camp with the YMCA.  I was a little young to go off by myself like that so I cried on the bus.  But I soon made friends and, yes, it was a blast.

    Yup.  Four years in a row through our church.  Went for a week each summer.  I hated going the first time, but ended up having a lot of fun.  I think it was a good experience for a shy kid like me.

    I went for three weeks each summer from age 8 to 12.  I was homesick the first year, but once I made friends, I was fine and looked forward to going again each summer.  Those were probably the best years of my life.

    It must have been wonderful to bond with other kids away from school.
    Thank you for sharing.

    Not only bonding with other kids, being away from my parents and siblings and learning to be more independent.

    No. Summer Camps are not really a British custom.

    I did though join the Scouts (NOT "Boy" Scouts... I am not THAT, old thank-you very much!) and the camping and hiking in that stood me in good stead for many very enjoyable camping holidays and caving expeditions over the years since.

    That's awful - I hope the perpetrators caught and dealt with.
