Teenagers and Risk-Taking at Camp.

Woods, Ann

Camping Magazine, v75 n1 p48-50 Jan-Feb 2002

Teen risk-taking is normal, healthy developmental behavior. Teens act out their fantasies--good and bad--at camp because it is a safe place away from parents. Signs of unhealthy risk-taking, camp staff responses, and how the September 11 tragedy might affect risk-taking are discussed. Sidebars describe tips for understanding adolescent behavior and two books by Lynn Ponton. (TD)
