I have three sons who are all camp appropriate ages. I found a great (and very expensive) camp not far away who wanted nurses for as little as a one week committment. In our initial e-mail exchange, they told me that I could bring two kids for free and that would mean forfeiting pay. I thought this was a pretty good deal as the camp fees are about $1400 a week. I figured I would pay for the third and it was still a good deal.
I made a tentative agreement over the phone with them for a week in August pending my references/license checking out. Well, they called me today and told me that they are now only willing to let me bring one child for free with a 10% discount for the other two! I could send two of them to camp right now with a 10% early bird discount without ever working there--not a good deal at all. It also makes me wonder a bit about how any other promises they make will turn out.
What do you experienced camp nurses think of this? I was thinking of telling them I want at least 35% off on the other two kids or they can try to find someone else for their job!
