I'm actually(drum roll please) working for a summer camp that harbors troubled and special youth! (It's really fun actually, just rough) I'm a counselor and I work for the kitchen, and I run a cabin.

Luckily, we confiscate all 'illegal' items before they step out of the bus. Only three boys had knives. It scared the crap out of me all the same.

I bet

How many knives? Last time I went to one of those, they took all five of mines. They even took my pen too.

We classify illegal as; wire, rope, drugs(this includes air fresheners, bug spray, some lotions, real drugs of course, and basically anything that can be snorted or smoked. They aren't allowed to pee in the bathroom without staff, because you can snort concentrated urine or something complicated like that) any possible item that you can use to hang or inflict self pain with, and that means we give them razors during shower time.

We were faced with two switchblades and a hidden razor on one boy, a few ink pens and a pocket knife on the other, and lastly a boy that carried three pocket knives, and a razor, the girls were mostly ropes and drugs. We had to confiscate tools and strings for friendship bracelets.

Watch out for the boys hanging out near the lake/water shore. If they were anything like me, they're looking for rocks they can chip into an edge. Either cause one of them got the mind to make a knife out of it, or because they want to sharpen a stick into a shiv. Or anyone who has more shirts than he's likely to go through. He's going to make a flail out of that.

[CallaLily180]

Ah, yes. That is why we travel in packs. It is always a group, no one is ever left alone, boys and girls are usually separated unless we're doing something special. You aren't allowed to start a conversation without staff there. We're pretty strict, but we manage to have fun.

It isn't really about 'Yay! I'm going to summer camp! First kiss, dances, bikinis, so on and so forth.' It is more of a, 'Hello kids, this summer camp is to limit the possibility of you getting back on drugs. Thank you, today the boys have the lake and the craft station. Girl's have the rec center and at two you'll switch. Have fun.'

[Lucius Cypher]

Wait, is it a drug rehabilitation camp? Well, that changes things. I was sent to a camp due to "Troublesome and delinquent" behavior. I.e. I stabbed someone and went to a place where they told me to cut that shit out. It's a bit difficult though, given that just about every other boy there is there for the same reason, and there's some weird gestalt psyche that tells us not to appear "different" from each other. And when the normal is "You're a kid who stabbed someone else", paranoia grows rampant. And people start getting creative. By only tool I had was a cosh I made from one of my socks and whatever fruit I get for breakfast. Never had to use it, but the others knew that I would.

Aside from the rampant paranoia, it was fairly enjoyable. I don't think I left with the lessons they intended to teach me though.

[CallaLily180]

No. Have you heard of a boarding school? This is a boarding school for troubled youth that have done drugs, committed violence, and other special things. But in the woods. The things they do aren't bad enough to send them to juvy, but this is a system that allows them to stay away from things like that. We kind of harbor them over the summer, and clean them up, and then when the summer is over we send them back home after a three months clean celebration. We don't have control over them when they go home though. And this isn't mandatory, we can send bad kids home whenever we want.
