[quote=Anonymous]Here's what I don't get. I assume this camp has some kind of "camp pledge" or "honor code" or something like similar that spells out how kids should be respectful of each other, etc. If this boy is really not following that, shouldn't the camp be giving this kid warnings that if he doesn't follow the code, he has to leave? It's not like school, the camp doesn't have to keep a kid that is truly being mean to other kids.
OP, I think a phone call would be in order. I think you can do it in a way that doesn't make you sound like a PITA, but just in the spirit of "I'm hearing this from my daughter, but I'd like to talk to you adults to get a better sense of what is happening and what strategies you are putting in place to handle the situation." These strategies can be a combination of stuff for your daughter to work on, and stuff for the other kids to work on.
The way they respond will give you a better sense of
1. If they are really on top of this and take true cases of bullying seriously, or
2. They don't really have a plan in place, and as you have a sensitive daughter, this camp might not be the best fit.
