"I am not sure why you are so hostile about this."
I have not been hostile in the least, but that you SEE it as hostile is very telling.
"If two parents disagree on what is best, obviously there are two opposing view points. That is not to say that I haven't listened to, considered, or tried to address Ex's concerns."
What are his concerns?
"By your arguements, it would seem that any time the parties disagree, the one saying "no" will always trump because the other parent shouldn't take action in opposition to that parent's wishes. That can't possibly be the best outcome."
Well, when it cancels or rearranges HIS parenting time, yes, he SHOULD have final say in it.
"Is your suggestion that I swap my vacation week and use it to send dd to camp? I suppose that is another option. I will give it serious consideration, but based on your "fairness" arguments, is it fair that the only way I can send dd to camp is if I give up any and all of my vacation time with her?"
Well, you seem to think HIM giving up vacation time is okay, so why NOT you? YOU want her to go to camp, so she should do so on YOUR time, not interfer with his. If he is willing to allow it, great, but he is not, so you have to find a work around.
For the record, your "sole" decision making authority does NOT give you the right to randomly rearrange HIS parenting time.
"And is it fair to dd to have to miss out on a planned family vacation because her father won't agree to camp?"
Is it fair for the child to miss out on her time with her Dad because YOU want her to go to camp?
"Why should the child have to sacrifice one for the other?"
Because in LIFE< we all have to learn that we can't do everything.

Why give a "senior" discount, they have had plenty of time to raise the money...
