Might want to be clear on *whose* risks you're worried about - the risks to
the minors, or the risks to your organization.

They're gonna get on Facebook and all their other favorite sites no matter what
you do, so the actual threats are almost exactly the same as if they stayed
home.   That fact should enter into your decision.

Might want to ask yourself how all the places that offer free wifi manage to do so
without major CIPA issues.  Also, whether the presence or lack of access will be
a selling point for the summer camp - how much damage does it do to next year's
enrollment if a bunch of kids spend the year saying "Lame, I had to go over to
the Starbuck's to update my facebook".
