the only circumstance in which I would safely send a girl to a bungalow colony is one where she will be living with a family member (older sister, aunt, ect)
No one else will watch her the way she needs to be watched. And even in the care of a family member, you’re rolling the dice. allit takes is one “ladies night out” (and there are numerous ones over the course of a summer) or one “quick trip to the city” (and there are several of those too) and the “watchers” are not watching.
Forget all assurances from the head staff, colony owner. Been to the mtns enough years to know that no one really watches the junior staffers. So unless you’re taking about a 20-25 year old, keep the girl in camp, at any and all costs.
Think of it this way; so far, this teen has cost you close to $100,000 in clothing and tuition. You’re gonna risk that over a few hundred dollars in earnings? Or a few thousand in camp savings?
Not worth the risk in my book. I pay dearly to protect my kids over the summer, and would only advise the same to another parent.
