Proceed at your own risk:
On the first day of Camp my First grader asked his Teacher where they would be playing soccer and the teacher "jokingly" replied that they would be playing "Outside in the snow". After, my son and another First grader left the premises, walked across a heavily trafficked parking lot that was in the process of being plowed and reached the soccer field that they thought their Teacher had referred to, minutes later the Teacher realized the kids were gone, went outside and proceeded to yell to them "I was just joking! Come back!" Alone, the kids walked across the lot again. No one at Armonk Indoor informed us of what had happened and when my son told us and we confronted the Teacher he admitted to everything that had happened and apologized requesting only that the matter be kept confidential. We then asked to speak to the owner, as we thought he should be aware of what had occurred. Instead, the Manager spoke to us and called our son a "liar" - unaware we presume, that his employee had previously readily admitted that the accusations were true. Many messages and weeks later we received a call from the owner only to state that what had happened was my First grader's fault and "what do you expect, the Teacher had twenty children to watch".
