Camp Autism, Huge Disapointment

We went to lemon tree passage for our 4 day camp autism, still with no itinerary, then we are told in the afternoon that our coordinator cant make it. very disappointing, apparently there are  10 families there but we managed to find 3.
Camp Autism sent a young girl from Queensland down, they flew her, she turned up  told us it was all up to us and left, so pretty much nothing happened.
we are struggling to keep our families happy let alone organise a camp.
despite the let down, it was a lovely place and i will go again with my son, but as for camp autism. what a dud!!
i have been told they are volunteers and i shouldn't expect so much but when someone says they provide a service, they should, ie SES is volunteers but what if they decided to be a no show. where would we be.
Would i recommend Camp Autism, not unless they changed their ways and attitude big time, the idea was wonderful, if it had gone off it would have been great, but better planning on their part with back up plans in place.
