I have attended this summer camp for 8 years I loved everything about it as a kid. This past year 2023 was by far the worst experience I’ve had at CDL, Kat and the younger lady with tattoos all over made a lady very special to cry. The lady cried because of how the group of children and teenagers they bring to this camp every year for many many years now were being mistreated. The kids they bring to this summer camp all have either hemophilia, cancer or sickle cell, the way they made these kids feel that year for a week was disgusting. The staff counselors for CDL were rude and disrespectful especially Michael (white guy pretty smile) the counselors had a problem with some of the kids not wanting to get in the pool this is were the lady with tattoos made my special lady cry. The kids who didn’t want to participate in the pool activity were the campers with sickle cell, the kids explained to the counselor what sickle cell was and how it affects their body. The counselor still wanted everyone in the pool they didn’t listen of course, it was not warm enough for a person with sickle cell to be in water that day they explained to the lady with tattoos who already reported the campers numerous times for petty things. This lady called my lady to tell her the campers are being disrespectful and everyone should participate my lady kindly told her what this pool issue was for the campers. I’m not sure what was said after that I walked away because that tattoo lady wasn’t trying to be understanding but turning around seeing my special lady crying took me all the way there. I said what I said to kat and the tattoo lady packed my bags and left that night I will no longer be returning to this camp yes I do believe it was a racial thing going on that year we have never had problems at this summer camp with kat or anyone else until the tattoo lady was present. Ps I would not send my kids here it’s supposed to be a Christian camp but as a volunteer there and not a camper I have noticed it is more sexual activities going on than praying.
