0 <br /> Limitations <br /> A main limitation of this survey is the fact that 23% of the parents had disconnected or wrong numbers <br /> and were unable to be reached. This could indicate that the survey under-represents families that are more <br /> likely to move. If the phone numbers have been disconnected due to the inability to pay phone bills,there <br /> is a potential that the survey under-represents low income families. The survey also under-represents <br /> foster children who attended Sun Fun, as we did not interview foster parents if the child was no longer <br /> living in the home. <br /> Conclusions <br /> The Sun Fun summer camp provided a valuable and much appreciated service to a significant number of <br /> Orange County residents. As of 2008, many of those residents have been unable to locate an affordable <br /> alternative for their children. Families have been inconvenienced in a variety of ways, and some families <br /> have even had to leave their children in unsafe situations as a result of the cancellation of the camp. While <br /> the greatest amount of hardship was experienced by families that did not locate a replacement camp, most <br /> of the families that did find an alternative for 2008 were also negatively affected in some way by the <br /> cancellation of the camp. The majority of parents fervently stated that they would welcome the return of <br /> the Sun Fun summer camp. <br />
