MC Minh Trang causes controversy by advising parents to 'research carefully when registering for summer camp'

In a recent social media post, MC Minh Trang shared that the Eager Village summer camp recorded a case where some children had difficulty using the toilet due to unpleasant odors and a situation where a camper was teased and had a conflict with a friend.

"The management board has requested a review of all sanitation facilities, increased staffing and inspection procedures during peak hours of the day. At the same time, coordinators have been trained in observation skills, listening, and 1:1 communication with campers to grasp their psychology, handle conflicts, and report promptly during the day," the article said.

The female MC also explained that the Eager Village summer camp model aims to develop life skills, adaptability and team spirit. With high intensity activities and outdoor living conditions, the program will be more suitable for children with good physical foundation, certain independence and well-prepared psychologically by their parents.

Regarding facilities, the Village maintains hygiene and safety standards: 6 campers/1 toilet and shower area; on average 4 campers will have 1 support staff (teacher/coordinator); there is a full-time cleaning staff. However, at peak times of the day, there may be some minor inconveniences such as waiting or unpleasant smells - which are completely unavoidable in collective living.

"We hope parents consider carefully before registering to ensure suitability for each camper," MC Minh Trang emphasized.

MC Minh Trang and the Eager Village team are ready to have a direct and friendly dialogue with each parent to find a suitable solution for each case. The female MC refuses to respond to anonymous or unclear feedback.

The MC's post received public attention. However, most people did not agree with the MC's explanation. Many people thought that the apology from Lang Hao Huc was not sincere enough and did not answer all the audience's questions about the incident. In addition, some parents responded that they could not contact Lang Hao Huc directly to resolve the issue.

The incident at the Eager Village summer camp caused a stir on social media platforms. Previously, on July 2, the CNL account posted an article expressing frustration and sharing her unwanted experience after letting her 10-year-old son attend an 8-day, 7-night summer camp at Eager Village ( Thai Nguyen ). "Letting my child go to the summer camp brought back a bunch of skin cream and a scar in my heart," Ms. L. wrote.

This parent said that her son had many skin health problems such as rashes and dermatitis, and also revealed that her son was psychologically affected by bullying.

Many other parents also spoke out after Ms. L.’s post on social media, saying that when their child returned home, he showed signs of insect bites, with a rash on his back and red, swollen spots on his face. Others reported that the facilities and hygiene conditions at the camp were very poor: the toilets were not clean, the swimming pool had larvae, many mosquitoes, the mosquito nets were torn, the sleeping area had no mattress, and there were not enough thin blankets.

On July 4, the organizers of Eager Village spoke out about the incident via their official fanpage. The village focused on explaining some prominent issues such as facilities, hygiene, and bullying. However, many parents said that the article was rambling, did not get to the point, and did not demonstrate responsibility and handling from Eager Village.

At noon on July 5, MC Minh Trang posted an article saying that she had contacted Ms. L. to inquire and provide appropriate solutions. "On behalf of the Eager Village team, I would like to directly apologize to Ms. L. and her family, asking her to convey my apologies to her child for her incomplete experiences during the summer camp and the unnecessary misunderstandings and stress during the process of the Village's management receiving the family's feedback," said MC Minh Trang.

Despite speaking out, MC Minh Trang still has not been able to reassure parents and public opinion. Many people think that she has not gone straight and focused on solving the core issues that parents are upset about.

MC Minh Trang was born in 1987 in Hanoi , graduated from Foreign Trade University, then received a Master's scholarship in Communication in France. She is a familiar face on VTV with programs such as: Endless Life, Vietnamese Song, Startup Nation, Morning Coffee...
Eager Village is a nature-experience summer camp model founded by MC Minh Trang in 2019, officially launched in 2020 in Thai Nguyen. The camp operates on a scale of about 14 hectares, including thatched houses, fish ponds, vegetable gardens, bamboo forests and natural ponds.
Summer camp programs for children aged 5-13, fees range from about 5-11 million VND/camper, lasting from 3-8 days.
