Cosmo-style Fluff,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ultimate Summer Camp Guide (Paperback)
I was disappointed in this small book, written exclusively for young girls. This is not a book for parents hoping to find the right camp for their child or prepare their children for sleepaway camp. Instead, it reads like a teen magazine, full of horoscopes, hairstyles, and dating advice. "So what if the boy you've had your eye on hasn't given you the time of day? Don't dispair (unless, of course, it's the last day of camp--then you've missed the boat, girlfriend)."There's even more unhelpful advice, such as, "Some of you may get homesick, and what better way to combat that sickness than with a little sugar-cookie scented candle?" I don't think I want my daughter at a camp that lets kids burn candles in their tents, or where getting a boyfriend is the goal. I cringed when I read advice on all the different types of cabin raids to conduct, and the emphasis on clothing and fashion is overdone. |
