Single-sex Summer Camps - What do you think?

I read in today's Hürriyet that the Turkish Minstry of Education (or to more precise the "Youth and Sports" wing of it) have announced that (for the first time) in all their Summer camps this year for 13 to 22 year olds, the boys and the girls will attend the various camps at different times.

Please note that I don't know if the KKTC Ministry of Education are intending to do the same for their Summer camp in Kantara.
There are many in Turkey who will think such a move is the thin end of the wedge, and could lead to all secondary schools in Turkey becoming single-sex.
Any thoughts?

Well I agree with these Hurriyet readers, who expressed their opinions so succinctly:

....Actually, when I read that, I'm not so sure of my interpretation of the original Turkish Language article, or whether I should really be commenting on the mores and governance of a culture which is so completely alien to me...

Reminds me of Britain of earlier days and Welsh chapels of even earlier days. Separate the sexes with a touch of 'No sex please, we're British'. I know they think they are protecting youth, but I am inclined to agree that 'stolen fruit' often comes in to play.

Municipalities no longer allowing bars to have their tables outside, increasingly- higher percentage of tax on alcohol, and now this - Turkish friends of mine would says these are all signs of the AKP's bigger plan ...
