For one of the only times in ten years of camping I stepped in and overrode the teachers--the camp I was hosting was that interesting! It was a coloured group of pre-teens from 'B' and I took away their sugar, tea, coffee, coke, and limited them to one sweet from the camp store. They were not happy! I didn't realize that sugar is a HUGE part of their culture; a couple of the teachers looked murderous. I also threatened to cut their power if our staff was awoken by their screams again in the middle of the night!
So, five days (and two broken windows) after the kids arrived, we finally had a lovely group of rested campers, slightly confused (but pleased) teachers, my sanity, and all the kids smiling at me when they left. And, our staff slept. Yeah!!!
