Sanctioned sneaking out at night

An old practice: at a middle school or other younger camp that uses older youth as staff. Let the high school and college staff “sneak” out and join you in the dining hall until 1 am.

• The rules:
  

• There has to be someone left in the dorm with the younger youth.
  
• Bring in a major snack, pizza, or nachos or hot wings or whatever is popular, for this late night time.
  
• They have to pledge to be at full capacity the next day or they lose the privilege.
  
• Have various board games to play.
  
• They have to stay within sight of an adult.
  
• Try to give them space to socialize without adult interference or inhibition but also be available for deep conversation.
  
• Adult can take turns for this duty.
