| Summary | In this investigation, it looks at the standards and regulations of U.S. summer camps. “Only 25 percent of camps in this country are accredited, meaning they meet 300 health and safety standards”. Many parents send their children to these camps believing their children are safe, but when accidents happen it is too late to do anything. |
