[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Modin is a private for profit camp not governed by an umbrella organization.  It’s is an expensive camp.  They do not offer financial aid.  What that means in this case is that their camp population is extremely wealthy.  [b]Their goal is not to provide a jewish camp experience for all children. [/b]If you do a search for Modin Colorwar break on your tube you can see some of the spare no expense activities of the camp.

I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with the camps decision.  However I think it’s very interesting that all the jewish camps that are run by the major movements have cancelled.  They are obviously concerned about the ability to keep kids safe.  Modin seems to think it can keep the kids safe at camp.  I hope everyone that attends has a fantastic summer.  [/quote]

You seem to think having wealth is bad.  How do you know they don’t offer financial aid, if asked?  We don’t have a child who attends this camp, but I would never think to criticize them for charging fees that are commiserate with the type of camp staffing, activities, services and facilities  that the camp provides its campers and their families.[/quote]

No.  I don’t think having wealth is bad.  I’m merely pointing out that this camp caters to an exclusive group of people that have the financial ability to quarantine.  [/quote]

Well, the bolded sentence above clearly struck me as being critical of this camp and its wealthy campers.  [/quote]
