[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't have help on the punishment, but please return the backpacks to the camp. My son is still bitter over items he had stolen from him at camp.[/quote]

The problem is that the camp is closed and no one is returning next week. The stuff are all not labelled either so I am sure the admin wouldn't even know where to start. I am also worried what the camp would do with a boy who "stole". Will they report him? Or ban him from ever attending again? (they run good programs) They are not all very valuable stuff and there are like no cell phones there etc. but there are things that would have cost a little to buy, eg. some camping gear, 2 camelbaks (which i know he wanted for this summer for his bike riding), some other kids sweaters and other personal stuff too.

But it is also possible that these were really in the lost and found I also remembered seeing a big big big heap at the lost and found when I went into the grounds and picked him up one day at camp.[/quote]

There's an emotional element not reflected in "value." This could be one kid's favorite shirt, or camping gear that a child saved up to buy. The fact that your DS stole so much stuff, and that it was coincidentally stuff that he wanted, means you need to take this seriously. Stop making excuses and contact the camp.[/quote]
