Just a little OT here but... from what you are saying, it sounds like the LSC would be the best thing for your DSS right now? Bit of motivation, independance and encouragement.

Just something to consider really. I don't know of many kids who would WANT to do a camp like that, its fairly exclusive actually (isn't it?) and personally if I was having a problem with an unmotivated teen, it'd be the perfect place for them to spend a week in their school holidays...

Anyway, thats my bit anyway. I'd rethink the camp situation...??
