Lisabob 13 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 My son went to a (non-BSA) camp where they did this. On the one hand, it was kind of fun to see what he'd been doing that day. Plus there was less need (on his part) to remember to take photos - the camp was already doing that. On the other hand, I fear it promotes that sort of helicopter parenting behavior that we all seem to agree is counter productive. Even when kids are away at camp, parents are "checking up" on them. I know some people who use this more as a form of surveillance, than as a nice way to get a photo. Are SMs and camp directors going to start getting phone calls from worried parents if Johnny is wearing the same T shirt two days in a row, or if he's not grinning from ear to ear in every photo? It is a cool use of technology though. Link to post Share on other sites
fotoscout 15 Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 I hear you! But I think it's comforting to see the kids having a good time. It's also a great promotional item for the camps. Link to post Share on other sites
SequoiaWDL 10 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Wow! And to think I was impressed with Camp Whitsetts (West LA Camp in the Southern Sierras) next week photo turnaround! http://www.whitsett.org/ Link to post Share on other sites
