[quote=Anonymous]My kid went in the fall to the Smith Center. My husband chaperoned overnight one of the two nights. My kid loved the experience and has decided to attend his first week of overnight camp as a result. He enjoyed most of the academic-related activities (they did something with measuring stream water quality, and some sort of game in the wood where they were assigned to be predators or prey) and really liked the evening activities (s'mores, something with reptiles where my spouse had to help hold a huge snake, I think?). He said the food was fine and he enjoyed the dining hall antics, songs, KP duty, etc.. He didn't shower because he was feeling nervous about someone walking in, but said many kids did shower. He said the first night was raucous and kids didn't settle down for a long time, but the second night (when my spouse was there) he said they must have all been tired because it got quiet pretty quickly at lights-out.

It sounded like no-cellphone was enforced for kids but not for chaperones. They definitely had coffee for the chaperones. The chaperones did not pay to attend, but they did have to pay to get background check and fingerprints (around $25). [/quote]
