In this episode, Ryan and co-host Amy Goscha unpack a topic many divorced or separated parents face: how to navigate sleepaway summer camps. With limited summer weeks, emotional attachments, and high costs, these camps can offer both enriching experiences—and major co-parenting challenges.

• Who pays, who travels, and who decides?
• Why early planning matters more than you think

When Camps Become Courtroom Issues

• How a “Unified Camp Philosophy” can reduce conflict

🔹 Key Takeaways

• Sleepaway camps can benefit kids—if both parents are aligned
• Co-parenting plans should cover summer planning with clarity and fairness
