WHEN I SAW MY SON, I GOT A SHOCK!!!!
I hope that this letter will be read not only by the camp administration and its owners (Chernomor company), but also by parents whose children will someday want to "have a rest" in the Kakadu camp.
I do not advise !!!! ! Life threatening!!!!!
Yesterday my 14-year-old son (he was on the 5th shift in the 3rd detachment) returned home. On the threshold of the apartment, I saw an exhausted, haggard and sick child. The result of staying in "Kakadu" (which states on its website: we have IDEAL CONDITIONS for children's health improvement and summer holidays) - minus 7 !!!!! ! kg for 17 days and suspicion of bronchitis (tomorrow we go for an examination).
How it was necessary to "organize" the work of the camp, so that a healthy, athletic and strong teenager in less than 3 weeks, turned into a "goal" ??????
Hope to hear the answer to this and other questions:

1. Why didn’t the children swim in the sea (they were only a few times on the beach), but sat for hours in the building and played ping-pong ??? ? (we have this pleasure in Zaporozhye and you don’t have to pay 800 USD for it. e (that's how much we paid for a ticket to Kakadu)
2. Which of the adults thought of allowing children to swim in a mountain lake (water temperature plus 10)? After such a hardening procedure, the son with a temperature of 39!!!!! ! lay in bed in the ward and "earned" a strong cough.
3. Why the medical care in the camp was limited to giving the children some pink pills (the name of which the children did not know) and at the same time our entire detachment coughed without ceasing (including the counselors). There was clearly a viral infection in the camp, which no one treated and with which the children came home. But on the Kakadu website it is stated: we have constant medical supervision by experienced professionals. Where and whom did this staff control when our children were ill?????
4. The issue of nutrition is separate.
Where is that DELICIOUS AND NUTRIENT food, which is written on your page, dear administration of the Kakadu camp?????
Or YOU ate all of it, and left the children: juice diluted with water, rubber salted dumplings, inedible scrambled eggs, etc.
Have you tried it yourself????
What can I say - a "REAL holiday" for children, and most importantly - a full-fledged balanced menu, on which a 14-year-old teenager lost 7 in 17 days !!!!! ! kg weight.
5. You will say that man does not live by bread alone. Maybe. But when you send a child to rest and improve their health, these things come to the fore.
6. Another big disadvantage of Kakadu is the lack of volunteers. When choosing a camp, an important factor for us was the language program promised by the administration. Communication of children with English-speaking volunteers was declared. In fact, everything turned out to be about the same as with the sea, the "buffet" and medical care - a complete zero !!! ! there are two foreigners in the whole camp, one of whom spoke Russian....Not funny....But very sad....

7. I can go on and on: about paid services (such as a barbecue set and a disk with a photo as a keepsake). This is a swindle, a pure fraud!!! ! and about many other things that angered me....in the camp of the New Generation "Kakadu".
Summing up, I will say: I am sorry not only for the money that we paid for a ticket to this camp (800 USD). I'm sorry for the time my son wasted on the so-called "vacation" in "KAKADU". he could spend these 17 days in a completely different way, and most importantly, without consequences.
I hope to receive an apology from the camp administration and sane answers to questions.
For my part, I promise: to everyone who ever asks me for an opinion about Kakadu, I will tell much more than I wrote in this message. Believe me, I will succeed.
The sender of the letter requested confirmation that the letter was read.
