Summer Camp Shut Down After Just 6 Disastrous Days

A popular New Hampshire summer camp shut down prematurely this year due to “staffing and food issues.” Camp Quinebarge, which has been operating since 1936, boasts swimming, rustic cabins, archery, tennis and hiking, and comes with a price of $3,400 for just two weeks. After a summer off due to COVID-19, it closed down again just six days after opening. Counselors who spoke to Inside Edition say the problems included meals served on dirty dishes, a food shortage and not enough trained counselors.

Sounds like someone thought they’d make a quick buck off taking some kids out into the woods and play camping, but got overwhelmed when they realized they actually had to feed and entertain them.

$3400 for two weeks?
Those parents really wanted those kids out the house.

[Chennoyed]

for that amount of money they should’ve had their meals prepared by gordon ramsey himself 🤦🏼‍♀️

The whole family could have taken a nice vacation for that price.

So your telling me that they closed after 6 days because of dirty dishes, food problems, untrained counselors, etc. and no refund was mentioned?!

I went to a camp that basically looks exactly like this but it was actually clean and had great memories. It costed $75 for 3 full days. These kids got scammed.

[SleepyLightz]

How dose a camp that cost 3, 400 for 2 weeks not have enough food? That camp should have a 5 star buffet every single day..

Imagine your first day at camp literally became a living hell

Man, this sounds like something straight out of a Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, no offense to anyone, but not gonna lie, it really does.

I bet the long time staffers were let go at the beginning of the pandemic and the management (not a realizing or appreciating just how much work they did) thought anyone can do that type of labor.

[shrekwazowski]

They really needed to hire better chefs and staff.

[TheRealW.S.Foster]

But did they at least give the parents a refund of some sort? A 50% refund at least? If not, I'd be looking into hiring a lawyer right quick to get my money back.

Never leave your young children alone especially overnight with no phone service to adults that you don't know or have any qualifications.

[bkzangelalwayz]

These parents HATE their kids. They didn’t want to be around them, they paid $1, 700 a week for a “rustic” experience.

The food problem has nothing to do with the pandemic. They just hired non qualified staff.

[Frenite]

That $3, 400 price tag for summer camp is exorbitant! Why not just take your kid on a Hawaiian Vacation or Disneyworld instead of sending them to some run down camp. Sounds like the parents just want to get rid of their kids.

[stephwiller]

Wow you must really hate having your kids around if you're willing to spend $3, 400 just to get rid of them for 2 weeks.

[ClownGutzz]

As someone who’s been a camp councillor over 5 years and trained in even just the basics (first aid, child safety, fire safety) I am absolutely appalled

[drvelocci]

As a summer camp director, I can say there is lots that can go wrong

[luke]

Looks like the camp in that alien movie where the kids get left behind in an emp.
