[quote=Anonymous]Our school just had an info night last night about Outdoor Ed. At least for our MCPS, parents are permitted to chaperone - encouraged actually, they seem to need a lot of volunteers for a variety of different time periods. So you could go for some early portion and make sure he's doing OK (or even stay over night, although that is gender segregated obviously.)

Our school also has a policy that the kids provide a list of 4 names of other kids they'd like to bunk with (there are about 18 per dorm, plus 2 chaperones). Of that list of 4, the school guarantees the kid will be placed with at least 1 and it's often more than that. Their daytime activities are spent in different groups so it doesn't mean your kid only spends time with a handful of others. Not sure if this is standard but I imagine many schools do this stuff in similar fashion.

BTW our school said they take HUGE pride in the universal participation - expect pushback from the school if you propose to keep him out or to have him sleep at home.[/quote]
