Two weeks, four weeks, or the full summer?
The short answer
The right length is the longest one your kid can handle and your family can manage. Two weeks is a sampler. Four weeks is where the camper actually changes. Seven weeks is where the camper becomes part of the place. There is no wrong answer, but the most common regret is going short the first year.
