400-408 – • NBC Today (7/14/2011) Holy sunburn! Is applying sunscreen to campers a slippery slope to pedophilia?
When my daughters used to go to day camp in the summer, I always sent them with economy-sized bottles of sunscreen upon which I had scrawled their names in big letters. Sure, I slathered the stuff on them before they left home every morning, but it eventually would wear off. No problem. Their counselors would help them put more on.
You can imagine how surprised I and many other Maryland parents were when our state health department last month issued a new policy that practically banned the simple summer ritual of counselors applying sunscreen to campers.
"Campers should, in most instances, apply the sunscreen on their own," the memo read. "If assistance in application is needed, camp staff should limit touching the camper as much as possible." And forget about asking a friend to help: "Under no circumstances should campers assist each other in the application of sunscreen where touch is required in the application process." (Bold-face emphasis is the health department's.) //

413-423 – Calls – Good idea or bad idea to ban camp counselors from applying sunscreen on campers? Are you more concerned about sun burn and skin cancer, or your child being inappropriately touched? Do you have a "touching" story from camp to tell (pun intended)? Former counselors who have applied sunscreen on campers, what were the guidelines you followed? Parents, have you had to sign a permission slip allowing your child to be touched while having sunscreen applied? If we do just use aerosols, aren't we missing "healthy" touching and interaction?
