He's very high functioning and has been in the school setting since pre-k. I let them know prior to registering about his IEP plan and some accommodations we have in place. They made it seem like everything was okay! June 2nd was the first day of camp. Why did they politely kick my child out the program? First we talked about doing half days because it was a new environment but when I went to pick him up they basically said let's go ahead & issue a refund! I'm so frustrated but also understand all of the children's safety is the biggest priority! I think the most heartbreaking thing is they didn't give my child a chance to adapt to the environment or modify the camp schedule. They immediately decided they didn't want to work with him. I say this to say don't waste your time sending your children here for summer camp if they have any type of special needs. They will not work with them AT ALL! They didn't give my child any time to adjust. I'm disgusted with this location & the staff here.

She said that the system was out of date and doesn't always work. She then asked me for the phone number to the YMCA where my account came from so that she could call them, but obviously I don't know what it is. How often does someone call a YMCA and I'm pretty sure it is her job to have those phone numbers herself? Miss Sandra then looked at me as if I was a liar who was just trying to sneak into her facility and didn't want to call for herself. I know for a fact that my membership is valid, because I just got a new tag from a different branch three days prior. Since this incident, I have been to three different YMCAs and my membership has worked at all three with no problems. In fact, I went to a branch in downtown Richmond after I was denied from this location, and the wonderful woman working the front desk helped make sure that my membership would work at all locations within 5 minutes. Not only did this kind woman help me, she did it with a smile on her face. She was happy to help. On the other hand, Miss Sandra was the opposite. She wasn't willing to help or do her job to ensure that I could use the facility, but instead looked at me as if I was lying straight to her face. I really didn't appreciate that as I am sure that nobody does. I didn't bother to argue with her, because frankly I do not care. I am more than happy to visit any other location where the management has an ounce of respect for the people that pay to use these facilities and are happy to do their job. Needless to say, I will not be going back there because of Miss Sandra and simply the fact that there are better YMCAs within a 15 minute drive.
