[quote=Anonymous]I've actually been there. As a kid, I was thrown into a cabin with boys 3 years older for similar reasons. Nothing bad happened to me, I just didn't have a fun summer because 3 years is a lifetime in a kid's eyes so none of the guys in the cabin were friendly to me.

So it might depend on your kid more than anything, you know him best. If a couple of 10th-11th graders are going to be a "bad influence" because of where he is developmentally, or if he's going to have a hard time feeling like an outcast for not being "one of them," or if he's going to have a hard time taking some inevitable ribbing of some sort for being a "kid," you can try to keep pushing the camp. But he'll probably come out of the experience just fine. It's weird and unprofessional that the camp couldn't come up with a better solution or return your call, though.

At a minimum, you should expect the camp to break their rules on kids talking to their parents by phone for you to check in directly with your DS once or twice. I would also expect the camp leadership to be able to assure you that they can keep a discreet eye on how your DS is doing in the situation.[/quote]
