had to do this
By C.

I worked at a summer camp the last two summers. We went to the pool 4 of the 5 days in the week. Some of the girls needed to change into their suits, although after Mondays we encouraged them to come in their suits and
we didn't let them change out of it, they wore it the rest of the day. But I did have to help some of the younger ones (5 and 6 yr olds) into their suits. Did I feel comfortable? Not completely. But I made sure we were out in the main locker room, not in a changing cubby, and I tried to have at least one other camper in there with me. The male counselors were needed to be in the locker

room with the boys. They were more of a presence than anything. I don't know the age of your campers, but we didn't let the boys change back either. You might want to suggest this at your camp. Good luck, relax, and have fun with the kids!
