Hi @mlg! Welcome to FUD!

You’re not the only parent who experiences this problem, others on this forum have the same problem. @Michel started [this topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/a-frightening-experience-at-sleepaway-camp/1524) a couple of months ago. Perhaps there’s some good advice for you.  
Have you already tried the trick with putting the Dexcom receiver in a metal bowl containing some coins or other metal junk? Apparently that makes a terrible noise when the alarm goes off.
