Here is a WashPost story from today about the lawsuit
In upper-crust Washington, former pals fight bitterly over the profitable Headfirst Baseball http://goo.gl/CKC0la |

My son did Headfirst three years ago and it was pretty good. Then the prices skyrocketed. Now I know why. Brendan Sullivan's (a multi millionaire) son is trying to sell the camp to private equity (so he can make millions) for more than 10m and trying to screw one of the founders of the camp in the process.
So if you suckers want to finance this, please feel free. We decided to go with other camps this year. I do not know any of the players involved, FWIW. |

We attended Headfirst in 2011, 12 and 13.
'13 they did not have their act together. I had problems picking up my children from camp 3 times over 3 weeks. We are not returning. |

We loved the camp years ago - think it was around 2007/2008 - when things were much simpler and not so expensive. not as much of a fan as it changed. though true of a lot of camps . . .

| been a regular HF customer and they "do" camps about as good as anyone else around, if not better. I can only speak to the sports camps however. The lawsuit is a distraction for sure but they have some very good staff, and we have been very happy. |

We did headfirst camps last year - I'm confused about the lawsuit. All the articles - the Post and the funny deadspin one - focus on baseball. Did headfirst first start as baseball, and then eland into all these other sports, then expand into sort of regular summer day camp? Is the lawsuit about the whole thing, or just baseball?
Headfirst seems huge. My impression from last year was it was well run and definitely a major enterprise. My kids had fun - I can't entirely remember but my younger one was simply what they call day camp while the older one did a theme - cooking, maybe? Wow, last summer seems so far away...... |

| Nothing illegal going on, just business partners screwing each other. They learned well. |

| Any updates on this lawsuit? I am thinking of sending my child to one of their camps, but at this price I don't want to risk getting screwed over…. |

| I wouldn't worry about it. My kids have attended a variety of their camps over the years and since the trouble started. They have running the camps down to a science and select really great staff. |

| Great camps. Nothing to worry about because it has nothing to do with operations. All three of my kids loved those camps |

| My son went to the camp last year and I was very happy. Why anyone is interesting if business partners fighting is beyond me. The camps are great and that is the only thing anyone should worry about. |
