[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Surely this is the kind of situation the camp staff can be alerted to and will be able to accommodate. Waking him up and taking him to the bathroom at 11 is a minor accommodation at a special needs camp.[/quote]

My understanding is that they won't do this, actually.  i was surprised too.[/quote]

Cancel the camp.  Find a camp that will assures he pees b/f bed.  The possible trauma isn't worth it.

--If he pees on the top bunk, he'll pee on the kid below me f protective underwear fails.
--if protective underwear fails, he and his sleeping bag we'll reek of piss the entire time he's there.
--He could be ostracized and called names.

Find a camp who will protect your kid from humiliation.  In the meantime, train your kid to work on independently peeing b/f bed and use a night gime alarm so he can train himself not to wet the bed. [/quote]

Don't canncel no one will know and its not like his the only one.  I bet there a lot of other boys that have the same problem. If its a coed camp they would be a lot of boys and girls that wet the bed.   at least no one will noticed him since he will wear the goodnites[/quote]

If a kid can't take himself on his own volition to the bathroom b/f bed, what makes you think he will dutifully wear goodnights?
If a camp won't ensure that he pees b/f bed, then they won't ensure he wears goodnights.

More than likely, he's going to piss all over himself and stink to high heaven in warm, humid weather.[/quote]

bedwetting is way more common that you think.  My DS wore  when he was 11, and my step daughter wears them and she is 13 years old.      She has problems with ther bladder but she know she has to wear them.[/quote]
