[quote=Anonymous]Keep an eye on things in the first week if your kid attends a DC Rec camp - I wouldn't get too comfortable until you are sure everything is OK, especially with a younger kid. I have a friend who pulled her child from the local looked-ok-but-not-so-well-run DC rec camp with a spray park after her kid got heatstroke. At another you'd-think-it-was-fine rec camp with a cement turtle in the sandbox I watched the kids throw sand in each other's faces and roam far and wide in the park with inadequate adult supervision. A group of kids made it all the way over to the hill behind one of the baseball diamonds (not the close by one inside the playground) and were doing a downhill demolition derby for 20 minutes before anybody noticed they were gone. Then the adult in charge stood a hundred yards away and yelled for them to come back instead of walking over to make sure they stopped. If I had a rough and tumble kid, maybe 9 or 10, who knew the neighborhood I'd be OK with it maybe but it didn't make me feel like my 5 year old DD would be safe there.[/quote]
