DD(11)'s music teacher suggested she go on a music camp in the autumn half term. She said she thought it would do DD good as she seems to like playing in a band, would encourage her, we live in a small village so not a lot of opportunity for that kind of thing etc. It's run by a friend of hers and she would go up one day. DD sounded interested (teacher spoke to her first about it). DD is unlikely to know anyone else going.
She's sent me the info. It's a week away with two concerts afterwards. I thought, when she described it to me that it was for children DD's age. However, the form gives you to different prices for
Under 20's
Over 20 in education/training
Over 20's
Under the rules:
Smoking allowed from age 16
Alcohol - forbidden for under 16's. Under 18's only beer or wine.
Drugs - forbidden, both soft and hard
DD has been away from be before on her school residential (1 week) so I'm not worried about that, although she was homesick even though she was with all her friends. She's quite a young 11 (still has another year in primary) although starting to be a bit more independent. I've no idea, and I think no way of knowing the proportion of ages of people going. There's no information about rooms and sharing etc.
AIBU to say no, she's not going, and not discuss it?
YANBu I wouldn't be happy with this set-up either.
