"Obviously at the camp there are strangers present and add to that the parents of the kids are not present (some are sent in from out of state)."

Another article about the camp said they were very very watchful of people who don't belong there being kept away. It said they guard very carefully to prevent perverts from attempting to get nearby just to watch the kids. Of course that wasn't their wording but a summary of the point they were getting across. Some of the children were a bit self-conscious at first apparently because they are normally around mostly adults or very young children at nudist get togethers. Plus, all kids that age are self-conscious when they meet new people regardless of what they are or are not wearing. If I remember correctly they also do thorough background checks on all their staff as well. They probably have better staff than most regular kid camps because if something happened with one of the kids at this type of camp all hell would break loose and it would get them all shut down I'm sure. They should have each of the kids write an essay at the end of their camp visit about their experience there and publish them for everyone to read. I wonder if they have an email address or a number I could call to suggest that. It might ease some of the worries a lot of people have about it.

It all comes down to who you trust. The parents that send their kids in from out of state never meet the full staff.

The staff poses the bigger threat as "voyeuristic strangers" than the gate crashers.

If the parents weren't sending their kids to another state for a week (of being naked) I wouldn't have as much concern. If it were a standard nudist camp with the parents' present even I wouldn't have as much concern (I trust that the parents will guard their kids even though I don't accept that all kids buy into their parents' recreational domgatic lifestyle).
