[quote=Anonymous]Have you read all the messages?  Your 11 year old should be aware that you have the right to review them, based on her age.

You need to have an open discussion with your child.

At my kid's public high school, teachers and club leaders and other authority figures are forbidden by policy from sharing their phone numbers or texting 1:1.  Communications can happen either through school e-mail or an all-access publicly-visible club channel.

If your conversation with your child goes well, and the conversations seem innocuous, I would recommend that you send an e-mail to the counselor and say that you've told your daughter to discontinue the conversations.  That might even be a relief to the counselor.

I'm not sure if I would notify the camp.  It would depend on my read of the full situation.  My teen son is a CIT volunteer this year.  One of the bad parts of the job for him is that little girls keep trying to hug him and they jump on people.  Body contact is forbidden for logical reasons.  He finds the puppyish behavior annoying because like puppies the kids don't remember the no contact/hands to yourself rules very long.  So I would say your daughter might have a crush or be driving most of the contact.  Perhaps you can get your daughter to explain why she got the e-mail in the first place.  (If it's not obvious.)[/quote]
