We had some sisters that... you knew something was wrong at home, but you couldn't put your finger on it. Truns out they were with their mother and her boyfriend, and it wasn't a very good situation. Obviously, the staff wasn't informed about much, but I can only hope things are OK now.
Previous to GS camps I worked at leadership camps for high schoolers, co-ed, and sponsored by MADD. We had all kinds of kids there, but mostly they all ended up fine. Our staff came from all kinds of backgrounds (divorce, drugs, alcoholism, etc); and it helped the kids get back onto the right track, so to speak. Confidentiality was always touchy there, but it seemed to work out well; I keep in touch with a lot of my kids and still mentor them.
