Financial Assistance Available

Financial assistance will be dependent upon total funds received through our Summer Camp Scholarship fundraiser. As money is raised, financial assistance options will be updated.

Campers are required to bring their own snack and lunch each day. Please advise camp of any dietary restrictions or allergies at registration.

We ask all parents to pack healthy and energizing snacks and lunches. Please avoid any peanut products. We do not allow candy, cakes or sodas for snack or lunch.

This will be our sixth year providing summer camp to children and teens in the special needs community. Our camps are structured, detail-oriented, safe, and creative! We provide campers with multiple activity choices in order to provide the opportunity to have some control over their own schedule during specific free periods scheduled during each day.

Each day's schedule is posted at a designated area for campers to be able to know what to expect each day. Campers will be assigned to one counselor for the entire week and split up into two groups of five.

Our small staff/camper ratio not only provides supervision and safety for our campers, but also provides the opportunity for teamwork and friendship!

PLEASE NOTE: All campers are required to be completely independent when using the restroom. Our staff can only provide minor assistance and supervision when changing. We cannot provide physical assistance inside the bathroom. We do our best to accommodate all campers, but there are some restrictions regarding physical ability (due to resources and terrain), as well as restrictions regarding behavior that may be harmful to others or to themselves. All counselors are volunteers and do go through training with our experienced directors, but we do not have the resources to be able to appropriately work with any aggressive behaviors. Please feel free to ask us more about our restrictions.
