[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wondering as I know several parents who don’t like or don’t allow their kids to do sleepovers but will gladly send them to sleepaway camp. Isn’t there more of a risk of something going wrong at a sleepaway camp where your child is with total strangers than at the home of a family you know and trust? What am I missing here? [/quote] I don't allow either, but I think many people assume background checks on camp employees eliminate all risk. I agree that is bad logic. Luckily my kids don't clamor for opportunities to sleep in strange locations apart from their family, so I don't have to deal with these questions.[/quote] No one is foolish enough to think all risk is eliminated. But it is a protective step, and we talk to our kids about molestation and who to turn to, whether it’s someone at the school or someone at a camp. [/quote]
