[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is really niche, but my kids favorite camp this summer has been TIC at the Langley School campus in McLean. I think they also have other locations in DC and Maryland. Early in the summer when it was SO out outside, they had a lot of great indoor options. (My kids also did a week at Calleva - it felt safe, but my kids hated the bathroom situation.)[/quote]
Is your kid male?  My DD was really turned off by being put in an all boy group with only male counselors for her group at TIC McLean.  She was also the absolute youngest (9 yo) in a group of boys aged 10-14 yo.  That's too big an age range, IMO.  It really wasn't okay and showed poor judgment on the part of the camp.[/quote]

Did you give feedback to the site director?  Historically TIC really tries to support the girls … the Maryland site has the “grow” mentoring program for girls (girls rock our world-grow) and a director who is tasked with running point on gender issues and helping train male counselors about this stuff.[/quote]
This was the Virginia site.  And is this really something that requires feedback?  They set up the groups so they should of been aware that she was the only girl.  They decided to move her up groups because the younger group was over subscribed.  They hired all male counselors. Those are all affirmative choices by the camp management.  [/quote]
