A mother becomes suspicious when her daughter won't tell her what happened at camp that day, and admits she was ordered to keep it a secret.
The girls said they’d played a game called “What would you do for an ice cream bar?” where campers were split into groups and were rewarded with treats for completing various tasks.
First, her daughter told her she’d licked the inside of a porta-potty wall.
“The counsellor said if you do that, you can earn an ice cream bar,” she said her daughter told her.
The mother said she tried not to overreact. She told her daughter she could have gotten sick.
But then the story continued.
“And then she said, a girl laid down, she pulled up her top, I spit in her belly button and someone else drank it,” the mother said. “So they were doing body shots with spit.”
Her daughter told her other kids did worse for an ice cream snack — pole dancing without pants on and running around the outdoor camp with their shorts on their heads.
One girl sucked the toe of a male counsellor hired to work with special-needs campers, she said.
The camp's reaction was to have a "talking to" and removed the game from the curriculum. Pole dancing in their underwear? I wish I was joking. I actually pulled Snopes on this just to check, and found backup with the Huffington Post. HuffPo actually included a snippet from a camp newsletter:
"aims to provide the most incredible camp experience that the Town of Markham has to offer. We strive to keep the grounds of Chimo an extraordinary place for the birth of new friendships and memories, and also strive to create an environment where teamwork, leadership and motivation flourish."
Words fail me, but my ball bat sure would have done the trick.
