There is one family that is involved. The rest of the parents aren't, at least not to any significant degree. I understand that for some, it is very difficult. They are poor, and taking time away for something like camping is a luxury they either cannot afford or choose not to do.

Understood.
The problem that I faced when in the YM program was apathy on the parents' part. I suppose it's a lot easier to get after parents that want their kids to participate, but don't want to help than it is to guilt parents into doing something they just can't possibly take time away from work to do, eh?
