      Right? You think of all the adults around kids without their parents, there's a good chance one of them will be a creep, in either this way or another. Just take em to the water park and cinemas over summer and they'll have just as much fun and you can make sure this won't happen.

    I just got back from working at one of the best summer camps I’ve ever been to. I went there as a kid for one week ten years ago and had the best time, and it’s finally closing down due to financial reasons. At the beginning, everyone was in tears during our staff training because we went over real cases of camp counselors abusing children, how to watch out for it, and report it if a fellow counselor might be doing it or getting ready to abuse a child or anyone for that matter. As a camp counselor, and a victim of abuse, this disgusts me to my core that 1. People would do this to anyone, child or not.. and 2. That people like this ruin the name of camp counselors everywhere.
    We made jokes all summer like “is this la junta?” When we had something that looked remotely nice, because it was the “fancy camp” and we didn’t have the money to stay open. And now I’m just disgusted that we held our neighbors so high on a pedestal.
