Lucy Norvell Quotes on Family (2 Quotes)

Six years old does sound young, but there are so many (overnight) camps with extremely successful histories of creating a child's world for them. It's a judgment call as to when a child is ready.

But if you have a very young child, it can be really overwhelming for them. It's a total judgment call.
