I'm very appreciative that CTY didn't just rule your son out on age alone.
I sensed that had CTY noticed his age early in the registration process, they may have been more resistant. As it was, we were just days away from the beginning of the camp, and there weren't too many options for them... or us. DS would have been crushed had it been called off at the last minute. (Mom, though, would have been relieved, I'm sure.)
While CTY doesn't show any age restrictions for grades 2-6, the website is clear about age limits for grade 7 & beyond... but we'll burn that bridge when we get to it.
