[quote=Anonymous]My 14yo daughter just came home from a small science camp for gifted kids in the sciences.  There were 6 girls and 6 boys and they were all bunked in the same cabin which had two wings:  one for the boys, and one for the girls.  A male and a female older camp staff person spent the night in the cabin to supervise.

Well my daughter is now home and she let slip that the campers talked these staffers into letting boys and girls sleep outside together, in sleeping bags, and I then saw on her phone that newly formed couples were canoodling and spooning all night long  etc etc etc.  I said, “The staff allowed this??!” And she said, “Well, they asked their supervisor and they said yes???”  And I said, “Did the staff sleep out there with you guys?”  And she said, “Umm, they said they would check on us every few hours?!???”

What in the world.  What sort of camp permits this.  I am so beyond emotionally spent from going over and over this topic with my daughter I am at a loss at to how to approach it with the camp.  This is a camp for many groups so who knows what other people could have approached these kids while they were sleeping, etc.  I feel this camp is so lucky nothing dangerous really happened or some parent could sue them to kingdom come.

Suggestions, please??
