Oh...and my son had been camping since he was like 2. He'd set up tents
in rain & high winds lots of times with his parents. The leader was
showing the kids how to set up their tents, and taking forever as the
temp was dropping and darkness was near. My son took matters into his own
hands and had his tent up, with the help of another kid, in about two
minutes. He got yelled at for not listening.

And did you offer to help out with the planning, training or take over the
labor of teaching tent raising to a bunch of boys? Why was she the only
one planning that trip? A team effort might have spotted some of the
problems in advance and worked out the kinks.

The leader had an answer for everything, in terms of program ideas from the
parents. I'm not kidding. Call me crazy, but in any teaching situation, some
people will progress faster than others. You don't single out the faster
ones and scold them. But yes, I was there helping a total of 3 groups of
kids.
