[quote=Anonymous]OP back.  The first two days of camp have been kind of "meh" for my DD and this girl but I haven't flagged anything for the staff.  It sounds a lot like how things were towards the end of the school year (consistent with what my DD and her teacher had been reporting) but it's fine and not having too negative an impact on her day to day enjoyment of camp.

Appreciate all of the replies on both sides -- 
I think different camps respond differently to these kinds of things.  The one DD is at right now errs on the side of overcommunicating and processing feelings and all that, so while I appreciate some of the perspectives about "camp counselors aren't paid to manage feelings" or whatever, I think some actually pride themselves on nurturing positive relationships between kids.  This one sure seems to!

Clearly there's no absolute right or wrong answer but my inclination always is to be more passive with intervening in these situations and let it play out and just help my DD navigate from the sidelines, so that's what I've been doing.
