Summer camp declares it will hide from parents the news of any kid who ‘transitions at camp’By Alexander Hall, Fox News

Camp Solomon Schechter, a Jewish summer camp in Washington state has made headlines for allowing children to keep their gender transitioning secret from their own parents.
Many schools and childcare institutions have come under fire for secretive social transitioning, where students are socially treated as a gender that does not correlate with their biological sex, without their parents’ knowledge or consent.
State law in Washington allows teenagers to keep information on their health plan from their parents regarding “Gender dysphoria” and “Gender affirming care” even if they are under 18.
Camp Schechter’s website states explicitly that it will comply with children’s requests to be treated as another identity, to the point they will be willing to hide it from their parents.
“All individuals at Camp Solomon Schechter possess the right to discuss their gender identity openly, whenever the person desires and with whomever they desire,” the statement wrote. “If a camper or staff chooses to identify differently from how they do at home, whether that be using a different name or pronouns, if they decide to transition at camp, or if they choose to disclose their identity to a member of staff, this does not authorize Camp Solomon Schechter to share this information with their parents or guardians.”
