“When a camper isn't smiling or is on the outside of a big group shot, counselors said they know to expect a phone call from back home. Liz Young, a longtime camp director now helping oversee two camps on the coast of New Hampshire's Lake Winnipesaukee, said she now fields as many concerned-parents calls in two hours as she used to get all month - mostly from parents asking about how their kids look on camera, or whether they're being photographed”
So they now remind the kids their parents are watching, so they’ll smile.
Time for a new era a camp movies. Not sure if it would be a comedy, black mirror or horror movie.

- zepto 7y agoI don’t know why people find black mirror so interesting- isn’t it just a humdrum depiction of how things are these days?

- yoz-y 7y agoAs a black mirror fan I’d object to it being boring. If anything the way things are these days is boring and BM adds a bit of edge to it to bring more attention to “what if”.
