My amazing, wonderful , aidel niece was rejected from sleepaway camp even though she's been going to this camp for 4 years . Why would a camp reject a kid that didn't make any trouble ? A good solid retuning camper?

That is strange. Hopefully her parents can reach out to the camp and get an explanation.

Something doesn’t Add up maybe you don’t know all the info?

Did she make trouble or did your sibling not pay the camp fees from the previous year? Usually precious campers get right in again.

Isn't fully prepaid camp a must?

Parents paid in full (you must pay in full by april time ) , kid is an excellent kid that didn't make trouble. They called the office and were told that they just don't have room.

Did the parents call their cc and cancel the charge after the summer? This is so I heard of there must be another explanation?

All her other friends got in and she is the only one they didn’t take back?

She wasn't rejected. There just isn't room. Someone needs to open more girls camps. They keep closing and our population keeps growing.

Reasons they keep closing? It's not profitable anymore?

on a different note...so many girls looking to go to camp for the first time are being rejected. There's no room I understand but it's a bad feeling for these young girls.

Either a human mistake or camp doesn't want her because something happened during last time she attended or theres an issue with payment.
Has camp downsized?

The parents need to call again and say it’s not ok and they need to take her. I had this issue I called and didn’t take no for an answer and they took her.

It’s not okay to not accept returning campers.
The excuse there is not enough room is not valid bec there should always be room for returning campers first.

Unless a camper was trouble there is no excuse for camps to play these games.

Did she go to a different school? For example, start high school in a different place than she had been? Related, is this for something like TC that is a different division that might be smaller or have different standards? Or, it can be first come first serve even for returning campers with priority, which also applies to siblings of current campers so new people are included, so anyone who doesn't apply on the first day might have an issue.

There is one bais yaakov camp that is known to do that.
