When to train teenagers to do their own night-time checks?

Hi, my 12 year old (dx May 2006) is currently away on camp for 5 days. The teachers will be waking him at 11pm and 3am to get him to check his own BGLs. When do you think is a good age to start getting teenagers to start waking-up with an alarm clock and checking their own BGLs

In two years' time he will be on a camp for 4 weeks (!!!!!), so I'd appreciate if anyone has had any experience with these sort of issues. Thanks!
