The overall camp concept is wonderful. It is a christian based program with fantastic activities, great staff, etc., except there is one major problem. All of this is irrelevant if your kid is getting bullied, cussed out & physically assaulted. It crushes their spirit to say the least. The first day at this camp my 5 1/2 yr. old son was cussed out by a fellow camp mate. We thought it was handled by management. The bully's parents had him write an apology note the next day. Then on day three, the bully got his friend to physically assault my son when the counselor was busy talking. My son is not a troublemaker, goes to a christian school, has been to Adventure Kids on Lake Grapevine (which isn't even a christian based program) since he was 3 years old & we have never EVER had ths kind of problem anywhere - except at Camp Thurman. There needs to be very aggressive rules & measures in place to prevent bullying from happening but apparently there is not. A real disappointment!!!
