Thanks for all the replies. One of my big concerns about the number of weeks our camp runs is that the last two weeks are actually when we have had the most campers. Most camps in our area are only open for an 8 week block. That makes it even harder as we are getting campers new to our camp at the same time that we have had other campers who have been with us for most of the summer. My full summer campers are settled in and want to maintain the traditions they have helped establish at camp, my last two week campers (and parents) come to me with expectations based on whatever their camping experiences from earlier in the summer have been. Plus I have new counselors as many of my college age ones are heading back to school. The dynamic those last two weeks is completely different than the rest of the summer. We still have tons of fun, but it is different. It's almost like I am running two seperate camps.
