I attended Camp Ozark when I was 11; I'm now 21 and wanted to share my experience. At age 11, I was an awkward child (shocking I know) but I can say with confidence that I have never been bullied to extent at which I experienced at this camp. I vividly remember telling camp officials every day for the entirety of the 2 week session to no avail. Additionally, I was not allowed to contact my family (a fact they are still unthrilled about). When my parents arived to pick me up, they were shocked to find a previosly confident child with a newfound damaged self esteem, and further outraged by the fact that none of the camp officials had made them aware of the situation. While I realize this transpired 10 years ago and has questionable relevance now, I encourage parents to be aware of camp policies regarding the information shared with them about their child's wellbeing.
