";s:4:"text";s:3004:" Now Patrick Cullen I believe is the longest serving counselor at this point and is without a doubt the directors number one guy and I would say that the director see’s Patrick Cullen as a brother so there is no doubt in my mind that the director has already told Patrick about what he has done to me. This includes swimming lessons, Archery lessons, practise a drama that will be shown to the rest of the camp at the end of the week, horseback riding, hiking up on trails in the mountains, go on 3-4 day canoeing trips camping on sights next to the river and cooking food for them while they go search for would to burn.
I did stop it and I made sure it never happened again. Firing a member of staff does not automatically make a camp a terrible place and this will be factored into the review. CCUSA have in fact did me wrong, I have the proof via email and the signed program agreement and should hopefully get everything sorted out with them by the end of January. It is committed to the highest standards of professional services, I believe working with them allowed me to use my IT skills and my skills in adaptation and team-oriented work. This is the reason the director didn’t mention this to me was because he knew I hadn’t done it and also knew it was another counselor, so he has most likely used me as a scapegoat for not just a returning counselor but a previous camper, and how would it look on the director that he would hire and re-hire a person like this. Now the trip was a one-way trip according to Brent Louis who has done this route in the past, so there was no possible way we could have got him back to camp especially due to all the severe thunderstorms. I will not delete any of it as I have said it but will now just state that I should not have said it.
Also in this I say that the camper exaggerated what happened but it was the director ‘Daniel Bredemus’ that wrote the report, so who’s to say he didn’t purposely make it look even worse than it was. Other campers in the cabin confirmed the story. Also while filling out the letters another counselor ‘Jack Kirby’ came up to me and Brent and told us that the homesick camper was out to get us for not letting him go back to camp during the trip. I went into more detail into what happened in previous emails and still got next to no help from CCUSA. The only question from here is why would the director offer me a good reference for another summer camp or offer to hire me again if he truly believed in what I was being accused of. We realize as well you have presented your side of the events, but as has been explained to your thoroughly, your employment is at will and a camp may terminate for proper reasons at any time. -The director offered to hire me again next year as well as offering to give me a good reference. What is your reasoning behind that?
