Enjoli has raised concerns about the camp’s safety protocols. She mentioned that Michael, a beginner swimmer, was supposed to participate in an instructional swim class that did not happen.

She also stated that Michael was assigned a one-on-one aide who was supposed to be with him around the clock, but that person is still employed at the camp.

Pritikin acknowledged that staffers usually do not conduct instructional swim classes on the first day of camp.

The camp employs 25 lifeguards certified in first aid, CPR, and the use of AEDs, along with three registered nurses.

Despite these measures, Enjoli believes more should have been done to prevent her son’s death. She suggested that out of respect for her family, the camp should have closed the pool for 24 to 48 hours following the incident.

However, Pritikin stated that experts recommended continuing camp activities, emphasizing that the safety and well-being of campers and staff are their top priorities.
