Pull out of school to camp?

I got a certificate for 4 nights of camping at a local campground. It is a program for autistic kids. Still I can only use it Sunday night through Thursday night. Would you pull your kids out of school to camp?

4 nights of free camping through the week? Yeah, I would pull my kids out for that. Think about it. Through the week it will not be busy; you would get to pick the best site! With less people there you would get the campground to yourself.

I would only do it if I can get my child's schoolwork ahead of time so she can do it while we're camping . As tempting as it sounds, my child's education comes first.

Yeah I'd be a little hard pressed to pull out for that many days. 1 day on a Friday we will do but 4 days is pretty iffy. Does the certificate have a long exp date? Can you wait until a long weekend maybe or even a spring or winter break? I mean you aren't doing something horrible if you decided to book and pull out of school BUT if you could book during a more pulling out friendly time or school break time I think that would be ideal.

Only you knows your situation and if it will have any negative effect

Good luck with your decision
