Camp Ma-He-Tu

For the past four years, both of my daughters have attended Mahetu. They AGREE TO IT. With my kids, the staff has always been considerate and sympathetic. Since a nurse is present, I'm not sure what the other woman is discussing. Since the camp is so small, I find it hard to believe anyone saw the alleged harm this child sustained. My girls adore attending, and they adore swimming and the zip line, as I previously mentioned. Women who once attended this program are now sending their own daughters.
