I used to go to this camp as a kid and now that I have my own daughter, I sent here to this camp as well. My sister, whom also attending this camp as a kid, pulled her kids out of this camp last year, stating that there was a lot of bullying and picking on kids and no accountability for this type of behavior. I decided to form my own opinion of the camp and sent my daughter there anyway. Low and behold, we experienced the same issues. My daughter is 5 years old and has ADHD. There were several incidents with my daughter and one other particular girl. This other girl was being very mean to daughter with her words. My daughter tried to notify the counselors or counselors in training, but when nothing was done, my daughter took matters into her own hands by hitting the other girl. While I do not promote hitting, I do not blame my daughter for standing up for herself when no one else would. In the end, my daughter was the one to get expelled and no recourse was ever taken against the other girl. There is no accountability what so ever and the children are mostly looked after by other older kids. Needless to say, I do not recommend this camp.
