...and they likely won't be as tempted by to fool around as they get older just out of curiosity because they know what is underneath the clothing and it's nothing new to them

They may not fool around out of "curiousity" but I don't think that this is any kind of a safeguard against fooling around. Many young adult nudists go to the burning man festival in the desert and that is not a sex free /temperance event.

If the kids choose the nudist lifestyle, that is one thing, but there is the risk of being forced into it. Society has laws that say at what age teens can consent to sexual activity. Parents are even at risk of arrest for taking nude photos of their own kids.

The courts are vague on prosecution and perhaps some standards need to be established.

A lot of kids are forced into lifestyles they do not choose but that are also not considered child abuse. When you raise your child as Catholic or whatever religion you are, you aren't giving them a choice in that lifestyle as children. Many people raise their kids as vegetarians too without a choice and that isn't considered abuse either. I know I have read in another article that the camp has a strict no touching policy in regards to private areas of the body. I just really don't see this as an abuse situation.
