Wow, I just realized how rare adults in a children's book who are actually good people are. Jeez.
The longest amount of time I ever went to camp was a Christian camp that was two weeks, but there were a lot of kids there who were there for a whole two months! Which now I suppose is probably just a function of how much money their parents had, because paying to send your kid away overnight for the whole summer is only really worth it if you have elaborate vacation plans yourself. But yeah I honestly have no idea how those kids managed, like, psychologically, to be in the camp environment for that long. Because for me, camp was always exhausting even just for a week and unlike skygiants above, I do distinctly remember being super stressed and miserable and I kept going back to various camps (especially of the sports and music variety) basically out of some sort of macho pride that I was going to SURVIVE CAMP FOR ANOTHER YEAR, or something.
