Don't trust their kids' summer camp
Don't trust their kids' summer camp programs. Enroll your kids in a different camp somewhere else! My neighbor loved the summer camp for her son, so I tried it this summer 2025, and enrolled my daughter for a week long day camp. Long story short, THEY LEFT MY 11 YR OLD DAUGHTER AT A GAS STATION 50 miles/1 hr FROM HOME!! YES, THE 18 TO 20 YR OLD KIDS IN CHARGE OF DRIVING AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR 20+ KIDS FAILED TO DO A BASIC HEAD COUNT/ ROSTER CHECK. MY DAUGHTER CAME OUT OF THE BATHROOM AND NOTICED EVERYONE AND THE 2 VANS WERE GONE! SHE BORROWED A GAS STATION EMPLOYEE'S PHONE TO CALL ME AND ASK ME TO PICK HER UP. THANKFULLY, EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS SCARED, SHE KEPT HER HEAD, DIDN'T LET STRANGERS KNOW THAT SHE WAS ALONE, AND DIDN'T CRY UNTIL SHE WAS IN MY CAR ON OUR WAY HOME FROM THE REC CENTER. I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO THE DETAILS OF MY BEHAVIOR OVER THIS SITUATION AT A TIME WHEN KIDS ARE BEING TAKEN IN INCREASED NUMBERS AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS REAL! OH YEAH, THE PROGRAM MGR TOLD ME THAT THIS WASN'T THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED! LET'S JUST SAY, ALTHOUGH I AM A HIGHLY EDUCATED, A VETERAN, HAS NEVER TRIED A DRUG, NEVER SMOKED, MARRIED TO AN ARMY COL, AND THE DAUGHTER OF VETERAN PARENTS WHO ARE BOTH POLICE OFFICERS... I WAS PREPARED TO GET GO TO JAIL! MY ELDEST DAUGHTER AS READY TO POST BAIL AND PICK ME UP AND THE FAMILY LAWYER WAS INFORMED. I DIDN'T GET ARRESTED, MY DAUGHTER DID GET BEST TO BLOCK ME FROM PHYSICALLY SHOWING MY OUTRAGE. IF YOU LIVE YOUR CHILDREN, DON'T DON'T DON'T LEAVE YOUR KIDS IN THEIR CARE!
