This camp has bed bugs! My son's school went there...
This camp has bed bugs! My son's school went there last week and my son was severely bitten up by bed bugs! He has over 30 bites on his face, scalp, and neck! I noticed the bites the morning we were leaving the camp. I took him to the pediatrician the morning after he returned and she said the bites on him were bed bug bites. I contacted the camp and they said they checked the cabin he was in and found no signs of bed bugs. My son's face, scalp, and neck is evidence that they have them! I have never experienced anything like this. The bites are so itchy and look horrible. He has been constantly scratching at the bumps and we are going on a week later! In conversation with the camp, personnel at the camp said that bed bugs don't bite on the face and neck. The same person also said doctors aren't always correct. The most absurd excuses I have ever heard. I asked if they were going to exterminate and that same person said that the staff at the camp are more trained than exterminators, and they found no evidence. Another absurd comment! So, basically, no the camp is not going to exterminate and is indicating that they don't have a problem. Why wouldn't you exterminate when someone tells you her child was bitten up by bed bugs at your facility?!?! Monday morning when we arrived my son's face, neck, and scalp was clear! I know for a fact that another child who stayed in his cabin had the same type bumps on him when we were leaving. I saw it myself. Just know that the camp was informed about their bed bug issue as of April 11, 2019. Find another camp to send your kids to. Yes, the activities at the camp were very educational and fun, but experiencing the activities are not worth your child getting bitten up like my son did and going through such misery!
