I am not one to post a negative review about a company or person, however; the experience that my daughter had at Harbor Hills was horrific to say it mildly. Just a few of the many issues at this camp: My daughter came home badly sun burnt many times, instead of playing games and keeping the children engaged on the buses, our daughter told us that one of the bus counselors would sleep on the bus all the time, would tell the kids to be quiet and that they were not allowed to talk and this counselor also proceeded to give my daughter a lecture on guns and the family members that he has that are in jail, other staff members spoke to my daughter in a rather innappropriate way, some of the equipment was NOT installed properly at the camp and there have been injuries (some rather serious), the "so called" nurses are not qualified at all. They sent my daughter home with what they determined to be ringworm. After taking her to her qualified pediatrician, she said that the symptoms were so far from the symptoms of ringworm that she said they could not have medical backgrounds. Contrary to what we were sold on, the counselors and staff are very young and inexperienced. They are not qualified to deal with young children at all and with the lack of leadership and accountability, this is a very scary place to entrust the well being of your child with. It is ashame because the camp grounds are rather pretty. We have spoken to many other parents that also are very, very displeased and feel like they too were greatly deceived. The owners, Hunter and Farrah do not care about anything other than taking your money. Each time we addressed the problems with the owners, it always fell on deaf ears. The owners would also battle us and tell us that some of our concerns could not be valid. They later apologized after they reviewed the cameras which confirmed some of the craziness. This camp will never make it and don't be suprised to read about a serious incident occuring here one day if they continue to ignore very serious safety issues and put the desire to make money over the well being of young children.
