What is the hurry on “adulting”? Do you think you nag appropriately or too much? Some of this sounds like normal teenage tug of war with parental concerns. If he has a lot of academic work, maybe he could be allowed to do less at home. Ditto if he gets a job. It is hard to ascertain the situation here but I would think most camps for under 18’s do supervise rather closely, and some don’t allow kids off campus without a counselor. If he has a strong interest in something, a camp suited to that makes the most sense. Look into NOLS- someone else mentioned it. National Outdoor Leadership School.
