I went here for music camp and let’s just say it was not the experience I was expecting… On the second day of camp I asked to call home because, I felt worried about my mother who is partly disabled and i was very home sick. I was told if my mom really needed something she better just call 911 and deal with having someone check in on her herself. I wasn’t aloud to call home at all period even if I was homesick, I was visibly upset for 3 days. It was in my notes to let me call home if I became visibly upset… I was told just to write home, that letter has not shown up in the mail, it’s been 2 weeks sence camp.
Staff here also don’t respect the identity’s of transgender people. Leading to a child going home on the second day for both that and other reasons. A few days later I was asked if I was religious and respectfully stated that I was of no religion at the time. They took down my name on a sheet of paper just for that, and kinda singled me out for the last couple of days. We where also told by staff that other religions where nothing but false profits.
The last day was our performances and boy was that a mess for both my family and others. Staff there put their hands on my mother for not knowing she was not supposed to even record her own children. She only didn’t know this because she was a little late trying to find a safe place to park and walk because she’s partly disabled. No parking for disabled people AT ALL. When it was time to take us home after having a rough time at camp and just wanting to go home. We where cased down by many staff asking where we were going acting as if so me and my siblings mother was not even there. I don’t ever want to go back to this place after feeling so so uncomfortable! Never again didn’t even feel like a summer camp it felt like a conversion camp from hell. Most parents do not know what they are actually putting their kids trough.
