Fits 20 kids but only putting 10 in?
I'd think it would be prudent to put 2 adults in with 15 kids.

Yeah I am not 100% sure that the person who told me things is correct. But best youth protection practices says first, adults should have separate sleeping arrangements from kids because historically it's the adults you are protecting kids from and two that if it is not possible to have separate arrangements than there must be a minimum of 2 adults and 4 kids.

And it still notes that adults should be separated by a barrier of some sort.

Anyway it may come down to the practically of gender breakdown by grade and thr number of adults who volunteer.

In scouting there'd have to be two adults in the tent.

ALso, in church summer sleep away camp, there are two adults in each cabin and like a half-wall so the adults are behind a half wall for privacy during changing. Personally, I think that wall is useless.
