[quote=Anonymous]Would you be upset about this?  My 12 DD came home from a girlscout camp today - she’s been there overnight for two nights- to tell me there were no adults in her cabin.  And the nearest adult is two cabins away and the only other supervision in her cabin from 10pm to 7:30 am is 12 and 13 year old girls.  This camp is not on a private camp ground. It is set up with nearby ( think 25 ft away) RV and public camping.  They share all common areas with general population.    Their ‘safety net’ was to lock the cabin door at midnight.   I spent all evening being very upset and she’s not spending the night for the next two days and will be driven back and forth.   The head of this camp told me this was SOP and I was wrong in being upset.  I wouldn’t allow my 12 year old to be alone in my own home overnight much less an area where she’s interfacing with who knows who else at all times of day.  She told me they use the ‘buddy system’!!  I am so horrified and upset that I didn’t ask the question about this prior and she’s so mad that she cannot stay over with her friends.    Am I wrong to be so upset?    Just taking the temperature of the village here.    Maybe I am being overprotective but I don’t think so. [/quote]
