Condemnation takes many forms.
Let's drop it. You said what you had to say, and then said it again. This
isn't the best forum for it. It will be in the archives of this list, if
anyone wants to search later, but can we talk about unschooling please? Thanks.

You are in luck. The Explore-A-College program that my daughter
attended last summer was in Richmond, Indiana, at Earlham College.
It was fabulous. And it is a very homeschool friendly program for 14-
18 year olds who are thinking about going to college. Here is the
url for more on this program: http://www.earlham.edu/~eac/
And the camping area where our UU teens camped is also in Indiana, at
Whitewater Memorial State Park's reserved group camping area. And
the great high ropes course the teens attended was just across the
border at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. You would have to
organize this yourself, but we found that it was easily done, far
more flexible and far less expensive than a week at that other camp.
Here are the urls:

I am sure there are more opportunities in Indiana, but these are the
ones we have experienced.

Since I was only responding to other people's continuing comments I
figured someone was still interested. And the Not-To-Be-Mentioned
camp is supposed to be for unschoolers and about unschooling, n'est-
ce pas? Do we have sacred cows? I think I just got censored!

The are in which we camped was the Youth Tent Area, which is very
nice and very economical:
Youth Tent Areas /$2.00 per person -
* groups of 10 or more with campers under 21 years and their adult
leaders.
* available to public, semi-public and not-for-profit groups only.
* tent camping only
* fire rings/picnic tables
* pit toilets (no showers or restrooms)
* drinking water supply near campground
* $20.00 deposit which will be credited toward total bill.
That's only $14 per camper for a full week!
Whitewater Memorial State Park:
http://www.state.in.us/dnr/parklake/parks/whitewater.html
The Outdoor Pursuit Center, for one full day, was also quite
reasonable with a group rate:
Miami University's Outdoor Pursuit Center (Oxford, OH):
http://www.units.muohio.edu/rsp/RSCWeb/opc/
This would be a great campout for a homeschool group to put together,
or for someone to organize and just put on a bunch of lists, for a
long weekend, or a week, or whatever suits the group.

Tia:
Exactly which views are you referring to? That folks should exercise
certain caution when they send their kids to camp? That folks should
ascertain if there is any kind of safety net or process for problems
that arise at camp? That folks can find many different options that
will suit many homeschoolers and unschoolers? That just because a
camp calls itself an "unschooling" camp that it is not necessary the
right place for every unschooler? Or that I question the authority
of someone who purports expertise in "unschooling" who has never
homeschooled, or unschooled, anyone?

I don't think any of Sandra's kids have ever been there, so I don't think
it's her cow. She's the owner of the list, and I'm a moderator. I agree with
her that this issue has gone beyond what's appropriate for this list. I was
interested in hearing yoru account, and had some non-burning questions, but I
didn't ask them because I know where to find out more if I need to. This is not
the place.
