More than 60 campers from Northeast Philadelphia were turned away from a private swim club and left to wonder if their race was the reason.

The Creative Steps Day Camp paid more than $1900 to The Valley Swim Club. The Valley Swim Club is a private club that advertises open membership. But the campers' first visit to the pool suggested otherwise.

"I heard this lady, she was like, 'Uh, what are all these black kids doing here?' She's like, 'I'm scared they might do something to my child,'" said camper Dymire Baylor.

Dymire Baylor says he overheard a woman ask, "What are all these black kids doing?" when he and his freinds showed up.
The next day the club told the camp director that the camp's membership was being suspended and their money would be refunded.
"They just kicked us out. And we were about to go. Had our swim things and everything," said camper Simer Burwell.
"There was concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion … and the atmosphere of the club," John Duesler, President of The Valley Swim Club said in a statement.
