i did not read all your comments but let me state my opinion

maybe we should analyze the whole summer situation.

the schools end a week before camp and start a week after camp that means the boys have a 10 week break does this really make sense?

especially since many families cannot afford to send their children to camp their children are basically roaming for 10 weeks or go to a local day camp which again has a very short day

why don’t we extend school thru july (like some chassidishe places) and have just one month of camp coinciding with the regular yeshivos.

do we not realize what a financial and spiritual toll the summer months is taking on our community. should we imitate the Europeans who just have 2-3 weeks vacation and spend with the whole family.

do the men belong away from their families every summer without any responsibilities for 8 weeks straight? who is watching after them?

maybe this county idea is not such a good one
