 I dropped dd off at camp today on a large college campus. They are staying in all girl dorms. She was worried about the shower situation so she rushed back to the dorm with her roomie to try to get to the showers first. They shower, gather their stuff, walk to their room and realize they did not bring a key or a phone. So they tighten their towels around their bodies and head down to the main desk two floors down. They are told that they must go to the camp office in the next building over to get a spare. So....off they go across the yard in their towels to get a key. She said as they passed other girls from camp they reminded them to remember their keys.  Thank God they insisted on showering in bathing suits! Who wants to bet they don't forget their keys again!

I asked why why she did not take clothes and she said the bathroom is directly across the hall from her room so she didn't think she would need them. Oh, the lessons she is learning! |

When I was a freshman, there was a regular dare-we went around daring each other to walk names through the dorm halls. Good thing she had a swimsuit and towel!

Well...at least she showered. When my eldest DD went off to camp (2005...she was 11) she was so terrified of the showers that she did not shower ALL WEEK.
I picked her up in my brand new car (seriously...less than a month old) and she stunk so bad. I was sure that I'd never get that stink out of my new car. |

That's too funny and totally something my child (boy 12) would do.

Once she realized they had shower curtains why would she still shower in her bathing suit? I worked at a youth camp that had those public 6 person shower room (military youth group) and if we/they refused to shower without their suits on they could be sent home. Some of the camps went for 8 weeks and you can't get clean showering in a bathing suit.

Some of the camps went for 8 weeks and you can't get clean showering in a bathing suit. I don't think they did. I think they put them on when they realized they were going to the lobby. However, I could be wrong. Two showers in a suit is not going to hurt. This is way out of her comfort zone, so I am for whatever makes her comfortable. |

Haha. DS is working on campus this summer and has the dorm floor to himself in between groups. He locked himself out as he went to the laundry room the other day. He was very glad he decided to put on pants, since he had to walk across campus for a key!

That is so funny! My dorm had private showers, they were like double stalls, the first stall had the shower and a shower curtain leading to a second stall with a bench where you could set your clothes and a typical public bathroom door that you locked. Being very modest myself that was one reason I choose that dorm. When I visited a friend at another collegethat a had completely open showers I just got up at 4 am and showered then!
Love the image of your daughter and her friend reminding everyone to not forget their key!!!!
