<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>I'm considering coming to MCH2022 with my 10yo son (full time) and for parts my 15yo might join too.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm quite new to this, and consider myself "scene-adjacent". I've been to SHA with my oldest son, but the people we went with are all dispersed now as far as I know, so I don't have a place to 'land' and found the info I found on the wiki not helping me with deciding if and how I could come to MCH with my boys.</div><div><br></div><div>My specific question is if it's possible to get an idea on how many kids will join the family-village campground (there is such a thing, right?). Or at least get some minimum, so my kids will know there are at least some same-age kids.</div><div><br></div><div>This might sound very specific, so I feel the need to explain this a bit further:<br></div><div><br></div><div>I don't know how my 10yo son will react to being in a group of strangers, this is quite unpredictable, so what I can do for him is prepare him and maybe even meet with some people beforehand if people are up for that. Is it possible to get any sense about the number of kids in his age range that are going to be there?</div><div>Once he gets over this initial bump, he's super social, helpful and talkative, but experience learns this intial bump is something I need to prep for.<br></div><div><br></div><div>For my 15yo son, he told me he didn't want to come if there are no kids of same age, so I don't know if I should buy a ticket for him or arrange something else for him for the days i'd be away. His friends are not interested or have parents who don't like the idea of a "hacker camp".</div><div><br></div><div>I hope somebody can point me in the right direction for this!</div><div><br></div><div>thank you,</div><div>Emile Aben<br></div></div>
