Sorry for the repeat… But I’d really like some more input. Thanks
I’m having my 14th birthday party at my cabin in the woods in Connecticut. I live in New York, and my parents would drive all of the kids, about 12 people, 6 boys and 6 girls, to the house. All of the teens invited are 13/14. Basically, they are all really smart and are pretty nerdy… And yes, i know that because they are smart doesn’t mean that they are any different…. But they’re a great group of kids and are VERY well behaved. They would be doing outdoor activities such as swimming, going on their jet ski, hiking, playing man hunt and other games. When it is time for bed, the boys will sleep in a tent on one side of the house, and the girls will sleep in a tent on the other side. My parents will be there the whole time. The kids are a great group, really smart, and are all close friends. Would you let your son or daughter attend this party? There will be PLENTY of supervision. And the only reason it’s a sleepover is because the house is so far away from where the kids all live…. Yes, there will be an adult up all night. The cabin has a porch with a hammock on it, and that is where the adult will stay. The tents will be on either side of the porch, and the adult will be able to see anything that goes on. But honestly, is there ever that much sleeping going on at sleepovers? All of the kids will probably be sitting around the fire talking or playing cards on the porch for most of the night anyway… lol

My niece is having her 14th birthday party at a cabin that she has in the woods in Connecticut. She lives in New York, and her parents would drive all of the teens, about 12 people, 6 boys and 6 girls, to the house. All of the teens invited are 13/14. Basically, they are all really smart and are pretty nerdy… And yes, i know that because they are smart doesn’t mean that they are any different, and still have raging hormones…. But they’re a great group of kids and are VERY well behaved. They would be doing outdoor activities such as swimming, going on their jet ski, hiking, playing man hunt and other games. When it is time for bed, the boys will sleep in a tent on one side of the house, and the girls will sleep in a tent on the other side. Her parents and I (I was asked to help chaperon) will be there the whole time. The kids are a great group, really smart, and are all close friends.

Would you let your child go to a boy/girl sleepover?

Watch Missionary-Evangelist Mitch Metzger give a 10 Step Demonstration on how to set up and use the Missionary Mitch Sleeping System: Wet and Dry Hammock. After hundreds of days of sleeping in strange and unusual places in the Philippines, Mitch has perfected the system for “getting ready for bed” in outdoor locations in 10 Easy Steps using a hammock. Watch this “interesting” video…
My friend has an ENO hammock and i love it, but my local outdoor store just started selling hennessy hammocks, too. I need a hammock because i plan on hammock camping this summer. I will be camping in the Great Smokies area (east TN), if that matters. I am a large man, about 6′3" 240 lbs, in case one brand is stronger than another. I’m new to hammocks so any info you can give me would be appreciated. however, i’m not new to camping, i’ve just always used a tent before. hammocks have just started interesting me because they are small, lightweight, and super easy to set up, plus they don’t hurt the surroundings as bad as tents. also, any tips you might have about hammock camping would be nice.
