My child spent several summers at Camp Tevya under four different camp directors. The result of this was that no one director got to know your child well. This had been somewhat of concern to me, but since my child was happy and had no special concerns or needs, I overlooked it... until the current director came along. We find her, (and other camp administration to a certain extent) to be extremely insincere, disingenuous and untrustworthy. In addition, there have been several instances where she has shown favoritism to certain campers who don't deserve it such as campers who have broken rules both in and out of camp and/or who have engaged in inappropriate and risk-taking behaviors and going so far as awarding such campers with leadership positions. She is extremely hypocritical and doesn't follow the rules that, she herself and administration sets forth. Due to certain events of the past couple of summers, it now causes our family a lot of hurt and pain to talk or think about the place that my child considered home for many summers.
