[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former camp counselor here. This is really not a big deal, you just need to be upfront with the camp about it. I promise you, this is more common of an issue with kids than you could imagine.

Neither of my LO's were in diapers once they trained in the daytime, but I can tell you a TON of kids at each of the two camps I worked at were still wearing pull ups at night. Most were discreet and would simply change immediately before going to bed, and leave the pull up in the bottom of their sleeping bag the following morning. Some took full ownership, and didn't mind if the entire cabin knew about their pull ups. It all depends on your child.

Just let your camp know well ahead of time, so they can accommodate your DS as needed. But let him go to camp, for goodness sakes, if he genuinely wants to.[/quote]

This is exactly how my dd’s camp handled it and she is going to her sixth and final year as a camper there this summer. Like pp, they said it was not unusual and they would follow the kid’s lead on whether they wanted to be discreet or open about it.[/quote]

+2.  DS started sleepaway camp at 7.  We told the camp in the forms we filled out and I told his counselor when we dropped him off.  His counselor confided in us that he wore pull ups until he was 9 at this camp.

DS wanted to be discreet about it and his counselor helped him.  It was fine.  DS continued to go to this camp every summer and he was not out of pull ups until 10.  No issues.

Just let the camp know.  They deal with thus a lot esp boys.  Don’t deprive your child of the great experiences of sleepaway.[/quote]
