Our 11 year-old granddaughter had a bad cough and a fever when we picked her up after two weeks at camp. We took her to urgent care where she was diagnosed with pneumonia. The camp director confirmed that she had been treated by the nurse for fever on three days early in the week but her parents and/or my husband and I, her Colorado guardians, were never advised of her symptoms. Instead, this poor kid was forced to participate in all activities despite debilitating fatigue. Health and safety of campers should be a primary focus of the camping experience. We sent her to camp to have fun, not to suffer unnecessarily. APPALLING!
