was at the low and the camp and both are terrible. Case managers and counselors are horrible but COs are decent. Both places are filthy and have black mold issues. Food quality is terrible and often served out of date items. All things like chips or cookies had dates so we knew they wee expired. Education and programming are nearly non-existent especially at the Camp.
