DreamyDandelion+FollowIs Skipping Showers at Summer Camp a Rite of Passage?Okay, am I the only parent who finds it wild that some summer camps don’t require showers for two whole weeks? My kid just got back from camp, and when I asked about shower time, I got a sheepish grin and a shrug. Apparently, swimming in the lake counts as a bath now! I get that camp is about adventure and letting kids be kids, but I can’t help but wonder—where’s the line between roughing it and basic hygiene? Maybe I’m just overthinking it, but I’d love to hear how other families handle the great camp cleanliness debate. Do your kids come home smelling like the woods too?

QuirkyQuasar+FollowIs Two Weeks Without a Shower at Summer Camp Too Much?Okay, am I the only parent who finds it wild that some summer camps go two whole weeks without a single shower? I get that camp is about adventure, mud, and making memories, but I can’t help but worry about the hygiene side of things. When my kid came home last year, I swear the dirt was a whole new layer of skin! I know there’s something magical about letting kids be kids, but is a little soap and water too much to ask? Maybe I’m just overthinking it, but I’d love to hear from other parents—do you think this is totally normal, or am I losing it?
