One full week (Sunday evening through Saturday night)

Brewing, Leatherwork, I like the idea of something musical but with a period instrument (or the pipes have always wanted to learn), woodworking and why not, cooking. Though I know my July this year is pretty much booked for a certain period with work. This sounds like a fantastic idea.
On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

I'm sure, based on the pricing for the kids summer camp, that we wouldn't be able to afford this... but it does sound like a LOT of fun!  I think the classes mentioned already sound wonderful, and as an addition to the spinning classes it would also be nice to learn some basic weaving, such as inkle loom and lucet weaving for braids and trim, and also some simple lap loom weaving, as well.  Things people could carry with them and work on wherever they happen to be. 

I like the idea of a camp for kids, and one for adults... but I also think a family summer camp would be lots of fun, especially for those of us who have kids who are really into Faire, and would like to learn a lot of these things along with their parents!  Shared activities are a wonderful way to bond families together, and to keep kids interested in Faire while they grow.

I agree with Rani,  a family camp would also be awesome.
