Is there any way to check that sleepaway camps will be on the modest side?

[Anonymous]

There are a few summer camps DS 14 is interested in, which still have open spots. I support this 100%, my only concern is the privacy aspect. I don’t know what the culture is like nowadays at camps, but I don’t want some counselor being exposed to my son. I’m a big believer of body positivity, but I’m also a big believer in private parts being private! Is there a way to check if camps will have modesty standards for counselors?

So...your son is a never nude? Doesn't shower in locker rooms? Never been to a public pool locker room? Has never seen a wiener not his own? I do not understand the world you are trying to create.

I don't even understand your question. Is your concern that an 18yr old counselor is going to lounge around the cabin butt naked? Are you concerned that the male counselor will not have a shirt on?

OP here. A counselor being shirtless would be perfectly normal imo. Pants being off is where I get a little weirded out.

That has never been something my kids have experienced in any of the camps they've been to. They all have private showers.

Like are boxers okay? You realize your son is about a year or two from being sexually active?

I have seen some movies about this kind of thing. I think the movies were even called Sleepaway Camp and Sleepaway Camp 2. They did not show wiener, but they did show T and A. Hope this helps.

OP,

My counselor kid would die if he was naked in front of his young charges. All counselors that we know are like this. He takes his duties very seriously and wants all the kids to be safe and happy.

Do you perhaps think that all older males are trying to groom your son?

Do you understand that before you know it, your son might be a counselor himself? Do you think HE would wander about naked in front of other boys?

Your mentality is very warped. Maybe seek therapy for your fears.

Same. And no one is lounging around in underwear nor do they get changed in front of anyone. If you're this paranoid wondering if an 18 year old is going to be naked in front of your child, I really don't think you're ready to let your kid go to camp.

Why are you so concerned about your son seeing a johnson for two seconds? As someone who went to summer camp in the 80s, it’s really not that big a deal!

Oh no, I am still so so traumatized from that one time, oh wait, one thousand times that I saw other teenage dudes' wieners in the locker room in high school. I had thought I was the only person with a special dingle (as my dear mother called it).

To answer your question, the way to check is to contact the camp office and ask if they have a counselor training handbook you could review.
