[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP this will only get worse. He will prohibit your son from going on school trips, dating and so much more.[/quote]

Doubt it.  He'll probably just prohibit him from sleep overs with adult men.  For example, he may not want him traveling with the coach and staying in his hotel room for an out of state soccer tournament.  I don't see the correlation with school dances or dating, though. [/quote]

I can think of no sport or activity where this is allowed![/quote]

He was "Safe Sport Certified" and all that good stuff, and he ran residential sleepaway hockey camps for young boys.

USA gymnastics.

I'm sure there are more. These come to mind.  [/quote]

Sorry, I must have missed where the coach was explicitly allowed to share a room with a minor.[/quote]

Does it mater?  He had access to a young boy alone in a hotel room over the course of 3 days during a hockey tournament. The child was definitely younger than 14 because this man didn't coach older teams - his target was 10U - 13U.  The camps he ran had many young boys staying with him over several weeks in the summer.  Hopefully it was an isolated incident.  If you had sent your kid to this camp then learned this about the founder, main counselor and coach, I have a hard time believing you'd just get over it and continue sending your kid(s) to sleepaway camps.  We're never doing them again.  Happy to give our kids lots of great summer experiences and seek out day camps in interesting places, but until they are much older, like maybe late teens, no chance.
