[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A PP raised a good question - what about sleepaway camp?  I'm assuming that's completely off the table for those of you who don't permit sleepovers?  [/quote]

For most of my family yes, it is off the table for them to allow their child to go to sleepaway camp. For me, although I won't allow sleepovers to Susie so and so's house, I will allow sleep away camps but not as early as 7 maybe 10?  My reasoning is that there are a lot more checks and balances built into a sleepaway camp(ex. only females can do head counts at night etc). My child goes to daycare now and after checking it out I had a measure of comfort with the place for the same reason.  I know it does not guarantee the safety of my child but it makes me feel more comfortable than allowing my child to go to someone's private home where I don't know who is there at all times and don't know the procedures they follow (e.x who sleeps where etc).  With a sleepaway camp and day care, you are paying so they provide you with the information, and there is some accountability.
