The Ridge Creek School / Hidden Lake Academy / All inclusive tuition?
« on: July 26, 2006, 12:33:32 PM »
It no longer includes necessary equipment for kids while at Ridge Creek.
Parents are now billed around $900 for the equipment, even though
parents have been led to believe that tution is transferrable to Ridge
Creek. Given that the kids who go to Ridge Creek from HLA go at the
recommendation of their counselor(s) parents are being soaked from
both ends. I know for a fact that kids are most often issued
used equipment. Even if they were given all new stuff, I find it difficult
to believe that boots and a sleeping bag cost $900. My son was issued
boots from Wal-mart which cost $40.00 at most. He wanted to wear his
own good boots but was not allowed to; this probably contributed to
the severity of his blisters.
How many more ways can they think of to nickel and dime parents?
