[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4 and 7 are too young for a two month camp (maybe the 7 yo)....My DD (13 yo) is very much looking forward to her three week summer camp.  She loves it...

My experience was a little different, though.  Make sure you are sending the child to a camp with appropriate supervision.  I was placed in a bunk with 12 - 13 yo's when I was 10...there was no supervision, and I was sexually abused in there.  As in forced to perform oral sex.  I was reluctant to send my DD to camp, but she really wanted to go, and I researched to supervision at the camp...4 counselors sleeping in every bunk.[/quote]

This.

I never went to camp-but we traveled and stayed with host families for tournaments and one girl was molested by somebody in host family.

In camp/boarding school situations it is not always the counselor, etc---sometimes it's oldee campers.

I have boys and won't have male babysitters and won't send them to sleep away camps.  Sleepovers--I'm cautious.  We have to know family members very, very well.[/quote]
