I was a camper for four years at Camp Echo Lake. It has been an entire 16 years since my last summer and the enduring damage that these irresponsible and insensitive camp runners inflicted on me has affected my life. I was not only bullied, by both campers and staff, but was a picky eater who starved due to lack of any edible food options, losing over 10 lbs in 7 weeks and establishing an eating disorder that lasted years. It is very dangerous for a 12 year old girl to learn how to cope with eating two pieces of fruit for dinner, and the fact that no one cared or helped, and that my counselors went so far as to deny me options available to children with documented dietary restrictions baffles me still. I remember once being yelled at for asking the kitchen staff for a piece of American cheese. My parents paid thousands of dollars for me to attend this camp. I'm pretty sure they could've spared it. I'd like my money back. Also, my adult counselors showered naked with us...so yeah.
