Some reviewers have expressed serious concerns regarding bullying incidents, alleging that camp management did not adequately address these situations. These reviews detail claims of children being physically and emotionally harmed, and describe unsatisfactory responses from the camp's administration. Specifically, some reviewers state that the camp failed to properly mediate issues between children and that the camp administration dismissed the bullying incidents. One reviewer stated that "boys will be boys" was used to dismiss concerns. This reviewer also expressed frustration with the camp's no refund policy after they removed their children from the camp due to safety concerns.

My child has been bullied at the Buchanan Camp and I’ve been calling and writing to them repeatedly and the owner has the nerve to send me the Wikipedia definition of bullying and tells me she’s not a Counslor and refuses to set up a meeting with the children’s parents and states “boys will be boys” in a recent email. Kids are pushing him into the pool; pulling their pants off and shoving their butt in my kids face and ganging up on him and saying he’s a liar and pushing him into the sand. My son comes home telling me his heart is broken and he’s afraid. He’s only 7. Born a premie at 1 pound. Kids his age are significantly bigger and taller. His weight is 33 compared to the average child of 55-60 pounds. His height is 34 inches compared to the average child of 46 to 54 inches and they dare write me and say he generally looks happy and I’m using the word bullying loosely. You can easily tell who is my sweet Brandon. He has a twin sister who has witnessed the abuse helplessly. The two Counslor tell him to say away from them. Really. How can he! It’s so sad. They’ve had to stay home locked up in the house with my mom because the camp refuses to acknowledge the abuse and I can’t send them there knowing they are being abused. It’s a horrible feeling when the director states “boys will be boys”. Seriously. And of course I prepaid thousands of dollars and they have a policy of no refunds. What can I do but leave them home with my mom who doesn’t drive and they need to stay home bored to protect them. Buchanan camp is not recommended. I’ll post the emails if necessary. I’m going to contact the better business bureau! THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE!! THEY ALLOW CHILDREN TO BE BULLIED AND DO NOTHING ABOUT IT!! DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILDREN TO THIS CAMP DO NOT PAY SO MUCH MONEY FOR THIS CAMP FOR YOUR CHILDREN TO BE BULLIED SCARED FEELING UNSAFE!!
