How many drunk guys are in the room when she is passed the ability to consent?

Beach is the center of all activities: kids gather en masse and play in the ocean, maybe beach volleyball, lots of sunbathing and maybe sunburns.

Nighttime is extra fun: weenie roasts, s’mores and singalongs on the beach - someone always brings a guitar! Sometimes couples will pair off during the campfire and hold hands and walk on the beach at night. Rotating houses host move nights and it’s popcorn and ice cream floats and deck dancing.

Depending on where the kids are - a night on the boardwalk is also in order; arcade games, rides, and all-night diners.

One morning a house full of girls invited neighboring boys in for a pancake breakfast followed by a limbo contest in the driveway.

Loads of good, clean, wholesome fun in the fresh sea air.

My high school boyfriend gotten kicked out of his flea bay motel in Ocean City after night one and to no one’s surprise, ended up bunking in with me and my group of girl friends for the rest of the week.

Sex, cigs, suntans, wine coolers. I’d go back and do it all over if I could.

Oh yeah. It's all an episode of Leave it To Beaver.

PP, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. And the biggest clue is that you refer to a boardwalk, of which there is none in Corolla/ Duck.

Only lots of drinking and loss of virginity in my case, but it was after junior year.

It seems like every other poster on here is at the "Big 3." If those schools are so great and so exclusive, why are so many of the parents wasting their time on DCUM?

It is funny that some posters feel it necessary to say their kid is (or was) at one of these schools when it is actually irrelevant. But maybe this is their last chance to do it so we should cut them some slack.

I let my son go. The pandemic really curtailed any opportunities to socialize during much of his high school career. And as another poster said, he is going to be on in less than 3 months and I won't know where he is or what he is doing. Why not let him spend some time at the beach with high school friends that he saw behind masks for much of Upper School?

Relax, OP. He’s already there. It will be fine.

Would you have let your daughter go?

So gross. No desire to send my kids (especially daughters) to these schools you are so proud of. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.

Booze, drugs, poor decision making, sex, jealousy, regret. I would worry about consent issues as well as laced drugs if they are doing any beyond marijuana. I would certainly not offer to be a host. I’d be reluctant to allow my child to go but it is an “important” social event. I’d rather send my kid and two friends to Europe than send them to beach week.
