Name changed for this! Currently staying on a large campsite in north of France with a popular tour operator - me, dp, dd13 and two younger ds.
Dd is the sociable one in a family of introverts! Younger two are happy playing together, and she has been getting on fine with them, but I am really aware that she would probably like to find some friends of her own age and interests to hang out with - we have been on several similar holidays pre covid, and she always found some girls her age to play with in nearby cabins, but there doesn't seem to be anyone near us this time (also aware it is a funny age, there are younger kids playing around where we are but nobody her own age).
I took her down to see what was happening this evening and there was a massive pool disco for all ages, which we had not known about. She enjoyed watching, and we had a drink but I know she would have loved to join in. I have tried to persuade her to go along to the teens club, but she has refused so far, I'm not sure why, though she did say that probably no one else will go.
At home, she is popular, fashion conscious in a very mainstream way, has a lot of friends and makes friends quite easily when given the opportunity. I suspect a lot of people come to places like this with other families, which we have never done, but surely not everyone. I've never been keen to bring a friend with us as we don't have room in our car, it would feel like a massive responsibility and I would not find it relaxing .
Anyone's teens had success meeting people via the teens club at such places or is it really something nobody goes to? I may be worrying about this more than she is, but I do really want her to have a good time and not be reduced to hanging about in the evening with her mum!
