I had a really bad experience here.
Basically I was having a hard time because some of my cabin mates were rude and because it was my first time being without parents or friends.
I was also struggling with mild depression at the time.
They didn't want to talk anything out, they simply offered to take me home and I said no and then they kicked me out.
I remember the moment vividly and after I was sent home I tried to wipe the memories of this camp from my brain and act as though I'd never been.
Being kicked out:
The five girls were in the cabin, there were two leaders.
One leader asked if we'd like to go to the washroom. Some of us said no and I said yes. Then the leader pointed out me and two other girls and said that we could go later but the other girls have to go now.
When the other girls were taken out we were told to pack our bags because we're going home.
I asked why we were being sent home and she said the camp director would explain it once we got to the dock thing.
I packed quickly, crying the whole time.
We got to the dock and I asked where I can find her, they said she was coming.
I begged them to tell me anything they knew about why I wasn't a good kid. They said nothing.
The director lady showed up and told me that she'd tell me why I was getting kicked out once we're on the boat.
We got onto the boat and I asked again. She said that the boat was too loud and she'll tell me once we're in the car but that I was basically being sent home because it would be good for me.
Once in the car I asked again.
The doors closed.
The car departed.
I thought I was a bad kid for months.
I cried for a long time.
I couldn't face the memory so I repressed it. I never understood why I wasn't good enough.
They get two stars instead of one because the two or three days I spent there had fun activities and yummy food.
I signed up for canoeing and archery.
I didn't get to do either because we were going to start the following day.
We had a camping trip which was ok.

My daughter truly enjoyed this camp! Safety is #1 and I'm thankful my mind can be at peace when she's at the moorelands camp

This is a good opportunity for families with low income, but there is a thing i have noticed my kid is not feeling free, lots of rules and punishments, staff is so young and no experience and do not tolerate. My kid is getting so stress out and doesn't feel comfortable to go there but I have no other choice.
