[quote=Anonymous]Outdoor ed is a pivotal developmental experience and all kids should attend. At this age it is important that kids can separate from their parents briefly and learn to deal with slightly uncomfortable circumstances. My autistic grand daughter made a new friend and was enamored with wading in a creek with waders. The teachers and counselors who attend try and watch out for kids who are "wall flowers," but it is not a perfect environment. That is what makes it valuable. Unless a child has a serious mental illness, at a certain age parents need to step back a bit and let their kids learn to deal with mildly stressful situations. They will need this skill later in life.[/quote]
