Hei Miss Moon!

Yep, that sounds a good deal all round. Funnily enough everywhere else except the UK seems to have these young peoples camps like you describe. They are very popular in the USA which prompted the famous Allan Sherman song "Hullo Muddah hello Fuddah" from camp Grenada.

There you go Es, ship 'em off for a week!

Oh there are lots of camps and holiday schemes here Chris..but persuading them to go when their friends aren't is another matter entirely.

There is even a summer university thing where they can attend all sorts of interesting classes for free like photography and film making.

I think the problem is my boys are far too attached to their mummy. I shall have to beat them out of the door with a stick.

Simple enough, don't feed them. :p

This is true. I've always maintained that feeding them only encourages them.

That's why in the National Parks the Signs say: "Don't Feed the Bears" or at least they did last I looked, PCness may have crept in there.

@ Es99
Maybe the boys are just excited about coming to Canada? Lots of space to explore here at least, some of it looks almost prehistoric.

They are super excited...but I can't pack with them wrestling each other under my feet all day. They won't go out in case they get stabbed.

And with recent weirdness of the message boards, am I the only one with Milkyway not showing in my Projects tab on BOINC Manager, even though in the WU tab I have a WU to report and others to work on showing ... ? Let's check NC.

I don't know, BoincStats seems to not know that I do MW@H right now, I'll wait a day or so before I look at that.
