[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They actually did give our money back for the future weeks, which I appreciate.  And I'm not saying they necessarily made the wrong decision.  I just was a little surprised that this was the first call I ever received from the director.  And I guess I don't really have a sense about whether he was endangering other children, since I only got one call about one incident, where he was admittedly being too rough with another child -- they used the term "rough-housing) (although they off handedly previous said something about his not listening well to the teachers).  I'm not sure if it was a "one strike and he's out" situation, or if there were additional issues.  I guess I also don't have a good sense of what the camps consider to be an acceptable (or at least predictable) level of rough-housing among boys this age -- he mentioned to me that another boy hit or pushed him, and I didn't mention it to the camp, but maybe I should have.  He's been to many camps before and never had any problem.  I guess I was just wondering if this is typical camp behavior, or if most of them give you a little more warning that there's a problem.[/quote]

Call the director and ask to talk to the teachers, and don't be defensive.  You need to find out what he did so that you can help him change whatever behavior it is, and you need to find out specifics.  And don't call and start defending him.

If the camp kicked him out, other parents had prob. complained.[/quote]
