i was a counselor for a number of years in a well known camp. i’ve had kids that have had bed wetting problems a few times. first of all, the camp notifies all the counselors of any problems, such as bed wetting before the summer even begins this way I could keep my eyes out for it and be extra sensitive if that situation arises. I’ve had older boys with this problem as well as younger boys. if something happened that night, the boy would come over to me privately and tell me what happened and when the other boys were at breakfast or elsewhere, we would quickly change the sheets and have the soiled one washed. Not once has another camper caught onto what was going on.
Bed wetting is a more common problem than most people think. Camps are very sensitive to that and any other medical issue a camper may have.
You should definitely go to camp this summer. You shouldn’t deprive yourself of your best teenage years. I would even suggest talking to your counselor the 1st day of camp about the problem and discussing with him how you could keep the problem private if something does happen one night.
Hatzlocha Raba!!!
