Steve & Kate's Camp - Houston

Today was the last day of my 4-year-old's time at this summer camp, and we are so sad about it! It was her first ever summer camp (she went the entire 2 months) and Shericka, the director hit her first summer out of the park. My daughter went to St. Francis Episcopal School and dreaded going everyday. I would have to beg her to get out of the car without causing a scene. For the first time in her life she woke up dreaming about all of the decisions she would get to make at camp. Everyday she was baking, sewing, learning robotics, going on a slip and slide. The things they had for the kids to do were endless and they could pick anything they wanted. The most valuable of all the things, was the diversity. Unfortunately in Houston I feel like it's really hard to find in certain areas. This week we wrote thank you notes and my daughter had a special memory for every single camp counselor. She was so excited to hand deliver them even though she couldn't read the names. This summer will be one she never forgets! Can't wait for next summer.

I really wanted this camp to work out for my kids. They have great programs and my kids enjoyed many of their experiences there. However on two separate occasions both of my 7 year old boys experienced food being dumped on their heads by another child. When they notified the staff they were told to clean themselves up, without help from the staff and we were never notified. Also little if anything was done with the other child. My kids have also come home with injuries that we were never notified about. My sons no longer feel comfortable at the camp and I can’t send my children to a place where ww can’t trust the staff to protect them.
