Day 3 update

First night in the dorm, one of the girls was very homesick and upset. According to to the camp counsellor, all the other girls rallied round and did a great job in making her feel included and happier about life. So much so that no one went home early the next day. Lots of proud parents, I hope 😊

Last night was a reversion to the norm. Riot Act was finally read at 2.30am, four hours after lights out, and some of the ring leaders were removed to other rooms 😬 I don't have the full story yet, but when a counsellor texts me euphemistically about my daughter's "lively humour and irrepressible sense of fun" I can only fear the worst 🤦‍♀

Hopefully they will be rather keener on the idea of sleep tonight.

Two more days of calm before the storm 😌

It's heartening to hear that youth is still rebellious!

@ninalanyon I think she regards it more as part of her job description than any conscious act of rebellion . . seven girls in one room, well you'd just be daft to pass up the opportunity of a midnight feast and dancing into the small hours in your pyjamas! They have their own code though and I'm glad it involves looking out for others 🙂

@SunshineGirl But of course, that's the essence of it! rebellion doesn't have to be overtly political.
There will be a time for that too I'm sure as this sentence suggests
