[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband would not chaperone. I don't mind to be a volunteer chaperone, but I have a son. I don't know if I could monitor and keep all boys under control. I am petite, and I don't have strong personalities and voice to overpower them if there are any conflicts. My son has done summer sleepaway camp  since age 8, so I am sure that he can handle this outdoor ed. I would volunteer when my daughter do outdoor ed. [/quote]

Sleep away camp you *choose* and pay $$$  for is not the same as outdoor ed.  [/quote]

My sleep away camp loving kid did not care for outdoor ed. He was expecting a fun campy vibe and said it was just school but overnight. [/quote]

So outdoor ed is not fun at all? How do they assign & group boys or girls in daytime and sleep by room? By class? [/quote]

The programming itself sounds fine. It’s just not CAMP, and if a kid has in their mind that it’s going to be packed with energy and some freedom, they’re going to feel let down.

Idk how they actually do room assignments but ds was with kids he didn’t know very well, and not his friends. His trip was also very early in the school year when he hadn’t made many new friends beyond the old ES ones yet.[/quote]

It is definitely random.  No guarantee to have any kids you know in your cabin or group.  [/quote]
