Underage or of age, expect alcohol to be waiting in the wings of every camp you send your child off to. One counselor, wishing to remain anonymous, says she’s worked at multiple camps, from traditional summer camps to Christian camps, and the drinking situation is usually similar no matter what the context. “Each counselor got a few hours off during the middle of the week. Frequently, they would go to the local bars and drink during those times off—even the under age counselors,” she says. “Though it was their time off, they would arrive back at camp drunk despite campers being around.”
