[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you all. There are some food, ADHD concerns etc. I’ll check on the chaperoning option. I was also worried on how the room sharing arrangements work and hopefully there’s no bullying.[/quote]

I'm the PP above you with the ADHD son. One thing I didn't warn him about was mixing his Adderall with coffee. There was a coffee maker in the room, everyone tried it, and when I met him that morning, he was shaking  because of the Adderall+coffee. I don't even want to know what his heart rate was. So please warn your child in case she's not already used to a dose of coffee with her ADHD meds. My child also carried an Epipen on his person at all times in a little sports belt, because of nut allergies, and he did remember to ask if things contained nuts. Because he needed to wear a suit for Model UN, I bought him a matching skinny black sports belt, so it was barely noticeable.

Also, nobody was warned they would be sharing beds. All the boys were against it. One of them slept on the floor, until my son figured out the chair could be made into a bed. 
There was a no bullying at all, just lots of excited kids going to hotel rooms without their parents for the first time :-) I hope the kids in your daughter's group are equally nice.

Overall a positive experience, but with the ADHD kids or others who might need special consideration, I would either chaperone or have a talk with both your child and the supervising adult, to let them know of your concerns.[/quote]
