Which statement best describes the rule about romance in camp regarding feelings and actions?

• A. Feelings are normal but cannot act on them at camp
• B. Feelings are inappropriate
• C. Feelings must be acted on
• D. Feelings should be hidden

Answer: (A)

Boundaries between feelings and actions are being assessed here. It’s natural to have romantic thoughts or crushes, but at camp you can’t translate those feelings into actions with campers or in ways that compromise safety or fairness. The best option recognizes that feelings may exist, while clearly prohibiting acting on them in this setting, which protects campers and maintains professional boundaries. If you notice such feelings toward a camper, keep interactions strictly professional, redirect as needed, and seek guidance from a supervisor. The other statements mischaracterize the situation: feelings aren’t inherently wrong, they just can’t be acted on in this context; and acting on them or hiding them isn’t consistent with upholding safe, professional boundaries.
