I went to this camp as a child. The staff was abusive. It has been a long time and I still occasionally have nightmares about the three weeks I spent at Camp Wewa.

I had this counselor who insisted that I had been sleep walking and trashed her personal belongings. She claims I broke her crystal beer stein during this episode. Why did she have a crystal beer string with her at summer camp I will never know. However I have never sleep walked before or since in my life. She spent all of her time harassing me and threatening me. The camp director took her side when I complained.

I was fed a bowl of Cheerios with ants in it one morning. That is about all I remember about the food. I am pretty sure the kitchen needed a severe cleaning based on that situation. I still won t eat Cheerios to this day because of that incident.

I would never send my kids to this camp. I am quite shocked it is still open. Letting people barely 18 control a gaggle of children. Everyone pretty much ran wild. My only positive memory is the sailing class my parents paid for me to take through the camp off property. Those instructors were the only kind people I saw the entire three weeks.
