‘They turned off the lights’: Youngsters find a clever way to comply with camp rules after being told 'lights off', then get sent to higher-ups

Long gone are the days I went to summer camp, but I always enjoy a good story about camp counselors vs camp attendees.

In this case, OP was in an IT course in a Balkan country, and they got an offer to go to a summer sports camp. OP describes the adventure as 'fun' even though there were quite a few things that were a bit 'off' about the camp itself. Still, when you are young, you know how to ignore red flags and just have fun.

One of the bigger issues was the curfew… or rather, the lack of light during curfew. The counselors told the campers that they were not allowed to have lights on after 11, and so every night, like clockwork, the lights would turn off, leaving the campers in the dark. A curfew sounds reasonable enough, but the issue was that most activities that were organized by the camp would end after 11, meaning that the campers had to get ready for bed in the dark.

Scroll down to find out how these smart youngsters used the rules to their advantage. Then, for more like this, check out this story about a client who repeatedly called the IT center to complain that the facilities on their website did not match the facilities they had at the establishment.
