Do We Want a Culture Where Children Do or Don't Want Parents Around?

Every youth had the same fear when I took them to camp: “Are you going to ask my parents to chaperone?” The last thing any youth want is to have their parents around when they are trying to have fun. Youth would ask me, “My parents chaperoned last time, so can you be sure not to ask them this time? Isn’t it some other youth’s turn to have to have their parents go?”

Now fast-forward to me coming to Woodland Christian Church and we go to camp as families. I’m listening to young people and their concern is, “I hope my dad doesn’t have to work so he can come to camp with us.”

Which one of these environments do I want to foster?
• One where children don’t want their parents around?
• One where children are sad when their parents are NOT around?
