Boy, 8, killed by tree branch at camp. Parents say it wasn't an 'act of nature' and are suing

The claim alleges that both the MRCA and the owners of Camp Wildcraft knew branches were dangerously dropping from the tree. "And yet, Camp Wildcraft and MRCA inexplicably directed groups of young children to play, paint and rest directly under the tree," states the claim. "That is exactly what Lamar was doing when he was tragically killed by the falling branch."
