Horrendous experience at Damon Bachegalup’s camp
My daughter attended Damon Bachegalup’s teen camp in August 2021 and we had a very difficult experience. Damon terminated the camp after four days blaming the teens’ bad behaviour. However, two independent witnesses claim the teens were mistreated.
My daughter was able to access another teen’s ADHD medication which made her high for 12 hours; she was able to leave camp and hitchhike with strangers to a local town; the quality of the food was poor’ and there was no hiking in the mountains as promised.
Damon refused even a partial refund, even the £260 we paid for a post-camp report about our daughter which we never received. We are currently trying to pursue this through the Small Claims Court.
I would caution anyone in sending their teen to this camp.
