i just wanted to say i totallt dis agree that the kids at camp ema hen wa are treated poorly i was a kid there and i was treated like gold they taught me alot of good things that i use today. they give you the tools how to be a sucessful adult, it is up to the child on how they react.

I was a juvinille at this camp headed for prison. There are no excuses for anyone to raise a weapon to anyone unless it is to defend life.
