The Onion's Satirical Take on Sleepaway Camp Pros and Cons
By
The Onion Staff
Summary
A satirical article from The Onion humorously examines the supposed pros and cons of sending children to sleepaway camp. The "pros" include sarcastic benefits like making friends from different gated communities, forcing bed-wetters to improve, granting parents private arguing time, and enabling face-to-face bullying. The "cons" include parents missing their child for a Minions movie, the child already starting fires, and the low cost of just giving the child $2 instead.
