Camp cost 20-50k per kid.

Is that lobster camp? What are kids doing in a 50k camp? I am regular European and 50k is like an annual salary. Kids go to camps though but they are more like 700 a week. Let’s call it a grand. For 50k you can get a helicopter pilot license not a summer camp

Likely this is a summer at sleep away camp. Although tbh I've usually seen something closer to ~10k for a summer away. Presumably you could pay more for spending a summer in an immersive camp experience or do multiple high end camps spread over the summer.

The private chefs and specialized tutors for niche subjects add up (I wish I was joking, not that I ever sent any of my kids to one).

I went to the Johns Hopkins one way back in the day. It's more like a lite-college experience for 8 weeks (but much more supervised ofc).

Still, I think it cost in the realm of 3k, not 50k. Honestly, not bad for a 2 month stay at a college campus in California.

Yeah, I’ve been debating the utility on that one. From observation, my daughter does better with a group of strong peers. While she’s still young (3) nothing motivates her to do something like seeing another kid do it.
