[quote=Anonymous]Ok.  Some camps are just a bad fit. DD went to a super popular girls camp - that many kids, including friends, from here go to and love so much they repeat every year.  She didn't complain at the time ... Or even when they promptly sent the email to sign up for next year. She let me sign up. Then she came to me and said she really didn't like it. Turns out the counselors were all British and German students, over on some visa, and the basic activities were makeup, hairdos, and crafts, none of which our DD is interested in for more than 20 minutes a day. She said she tried to get kids to run around or do other things (hide and seek on the wonderful property? Or capture the flag, for example ...) but the counselors found it a lot easier to paint nails and faces and style hair. So she was also shunned by the counselors.  She didn't even raise this until after so it  wasn't some ploy to get attention.  And we've never complained to the camp - I figure that's just the vibe.  But it does support that OP's kid could be having a bad time without being an unreasonable complainer... [/quote]
