we are also allowed to drink no matter what our age on camp. The only rules are that there is to be no alcohol or drugs on camp, and we are not to work under the influence or come back to camp from time off under the influence---all are strictly enforced.
I honestly think that's the best policy because no matter what most underage people will try to drink regardless of the rules. This way our camp has boundaries and it's very clear you will get fired if you break them. Since it's so cut and dry we never had a problem and everyone abided by the rules.
We too have huge drinking parties to celebrate the beginning of camp, the end of camp, and during session breaks when all the offduty counselors go camping together.
