I placed my autistic son in their "special needs" camp LEAP, which claimed to be geared specifically towards autistic and ADHD individuals. My son has meltdowns which I informed the camp director about BEFORE signing him up, to make sure their staff was equipped to deal with the typical autistic behaviors. I was assured that they would have absolutely no problem in catering to his individual needs. However, he was kicked out 1/2 way through the 3rd day of camp. When I called to consult about the issue with the director she decided she had wrongly informed me about accepting him, due to his "violent" behavior (she was referring to my son smacking a kid with his sandal who was bullying him). The staff are also very young women who upon arrival to pick my son up, were on their cell phones and chatting instead of paying attention to the children who were swimming in the pool. I strongly recommend AGAINST using their services! I will be placing my son back in the camp that YMCA offers, they aren't even for special needs but I NEVER had an issue there! Thankfully they still have a couple openings...It may cost twice as much, but you get what you pay for in this case! The experience I had with park district was very disappointing. Too bad because we were considering booking a wedding with them next summer. We will be taking our business elswhere after all of this.
