Question: Going away privacy at camp?

(Posted by: bobby on 2009-01-11 23:24:05)

I'm going away to a camp for 10 days during spring break and then for the summer. I'm a little worried about having to shower in front of other boys, as well as having to change in front of them. Since we will be in the same cabin. Does anyone know If you half to change in the same big room with each other? Or if you half to shower in one big room or if they have stalls

Ive been to countless camps growing up... no two are the same in a stall, in a big room, without a curtain, it doesnt matter... heeres what you gotta know... youve all got the same gear. theres not anything to be embarrassed about. im not sure how old you are and depending on your age will have alot to do with how the other boys will act... my advice is if you dont want anyone to see you change or youre uncomfortable in that situation but youre in an open area... just turn around facing away from everyone (or as many as you can) and do your business. if you cant stand it you could change in a bathroom stall ... just notice what the other kids are doing and go along with it. dont make it akward.. if you have to make a joke about like "now none of yall are gonna check me out while im changing are ya? " ... just lighten the mood a little
