well...my friend and i decided that we wanted to go to this really cool camp next summer. we would go away for 3 weeks and do a bunch of cool things there. the only problem is that it costs sooooo much money and im afraid to even ask to go because they might say no. and if i do decide to ask them...how do tell them its a lot of money?

hot_tamalee_1218 answered Sunday July 18 2004, 10:43 pm: hey,
tell them that u want to go to camp and by next summer either save up ur money or make a deal with them that u'll pay half and then see if they can pay the other half.
x6xkelx9x answered Sunday July 18 2004, 9:45 pm: be prepared with all the information about the camp, you have to ask them sometime so you might as well get it over with. just say, "i know this camp is expensive but i can pay for half or whatever you want or raise some of the money" etc. do a car wash, bake sale, mow lawns, babysit, anything for extra cash. good luck [ x6xkelx9x's advice column | Ask x6xkelx9x A Question ]
ballerina04 answered Sunday July 18 2004, 9:45 pm: just come right out and tell them. say that you and ___ want to go to this camp and that it's expensive.
you have to be willing to pay for some of it. thats also a good thing to say while telling your parents. get a job, and if you aren't old enough for a real job, babysit, mow lawns, do chores around the house. send me a message if you need anything else.
Lizzy answered Sunday July 18 2004, 9:39 pm: Why don't you tell them now how much it costs before you tell them what it is. Also, tell them how important it is to you. Use logics. If it costs 500 dollars and it's not until next summer,it would only be $42 a month to save up, that way, it would be a working progress.
Good Luck

blackmamba answered Sunday July 18 2004, 9:28 pm: hmm.. maybe you should tell them ( and by them i think you mean your parents or guardians) that you REALLY want to go with your friend to this camp and you'd be willing to sacrafice some x-mas gifts or birthday gifts to go. just call it and early present and they can save it later. i dunno maybe that would work :) good luck [ blackmamba's advice column | Ask blackmamba A Question ]
sxyxbabii answered Sunday July 18 2004, 9:24 pm: hmm.. well, maybe you could just be like i know what your going to say but just hear me out.. i really want to go to this camp with __ (ur friends name)) and i know it costs a lot of money and your not going to want to pay for it.. so like offer to pay for half of it or something and get a job or do things around the house to get money and maybe they'll consider it.. either that or offer to do something you HATE for a period of time.. lol sounds gay but it might work!
