Re: child support
The simple answer is no. Unless you can demonstrate a compelling reason to the court, the fact the child is at camp does not negate the need for child support payments.
Re: child support
Your child support responsibility does not end -- or in your question temporarily suspend -- because the child is not, as you say, with the custodial parent. The child still needs support.
Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
Re: child support
Generally, being away at college or away for summer vacation does not negate child support obligations.
