Alsonwhy wouldn't they tell us the reason for not opening? Especially if it is a legitimate reason |
I emailed them on Tuesday and left a message on the office number today. No response from them. Has anyone heard from them?? Can we be confident they’re actually opening on the 10th?

They replied today the following:
My apologizes for not getting back to you sooner.
If your daughter needs to leave early, bussing will be provided and we will refund you for the last week in camp.
We will send out an email next week with instructions to sign up for an early bus home.
Thank you for your understanding.
Wishing you a Gut Shabbos.
This is putting the parents in an awkward position. I feel strongly about teaching my daughter responsibility about showing up for her job. However, to take away a week of camp. So unfair! They should figure out a way to start on time. Even in a different location.

This is every camps worst nightmare. If there was some way to avoid it they would. There’s obviously an issue they can’t fix. Renting a new camp might be an expense that would bankrupt them. It stinks but that’s life it happens. They def aren’t doing this on purpose.

What about the staff? Waitresses, counselors, lifeguards, etc..
They usually have other jobs lined up second half.
But on the other hand, leaving to get there on time means the camp will be seriously short staffed.

Why wouldn’t they run a three week program and refund the money?
Have less revenue but less expenses.
(Also weren’t they the ones who didn’t have a second half bec they were renting out their grounds second half? So what’s happening there?)

There’s no way this would be about a swimming pool.
Girls planning on going to a different sleep away camp for second half are really stuck now.
I have no idea what my daughter is going to do for a full week after every single one of her friends plus her sisters leave to camp on July 2-3.
Not to mention I live very far from the new grounds and am now stuck with a useless non refundable plane ticket for July 3rd. |
They should pay you back for the plane ticket. It’s on them!
