My review is regarding the gym camp (Ocean and Elemental Week). This was our 3rd ACC camp this summer. I'll not be sending my child back to gym camp with this program. If you're a family who they cater to, you shouldn't have any problem. If you're not, then please read.

When you bring up your concerns, please note that your child will be the target of their close observation and they would tell you things that your child does and make him out to be an instigator.

The program specialist becomes very defensive when you bring up concerns. On the last day of gym camp, Megan Williams, Program Specialist for Gymnastics at Bishop Park, swung open the passenger door of my car (after saying that she couldn't hear and before I could even respond) and rested her entire upper body on the carseat while she proceeded to accuse my child for not being honest and that he didn't tell me that he laughed at another child who was on an equipment and kicked another one while she chided my child that he didn't report that to me. Megan acted neurotic and was a bully.

There are always two sides to the story. In the first scenario, my child was laughing with another child (and not laughing at) and in the second scenario, he and the other child were pretending to kick (and neither made contact).

The concerns we had were mostly about the camp counselors. All are relatively young (mostly high school aged) and they act like older kids. They simply lack the skills to manage large groups of kids. There were incidents where there were several in the first week (where there was a total of 3 boys) who were picking on my child for not doing the routines well (he has very little gymnastics experience) and because he was the only boy in his group.

In the second week, there were counselors who were telling my child that he wasn't in pain when he clearly was in and one impulsively hit his head as she walked by. They also don't incorporate enough stretching (this should be a no-brainer) or even suggest ice. I'm surprised that kids who go to such a camp don't end up misbehaving as these camp counselors are definitely doing so.

Update: We saw Megan Williams after 2 months at another ACC event. She avoided eye contact with me, and she turned to my child in her saccharine sweet voice. It made my child uncomfortable as he had negative experiences with her. She lacks in authenticity and appears to have limited cognitive empathy.

Athens Clarke County Leisure Center Business Office is right next to the Sandy Creek Center. A lady who works there told me that I should definitely report such concerns to them.
