Participation Guidelines:
To ensure a safe and successful camp experience for all participants, campers must be able to independently feed themselves, change clothes, and use the restroom on their own.

Our summer counselors bring a wide variety of skills and backgrounds; however, they are not medically trained to provide direct medical or personal care support. If your child requires more direct or medical assistance and you are able to provide a dedicated support person, your child is welcome to attend camp with that support in place.

Our camp will have a 1:2 or 1:3 (counselor/camper) ratio – which is why we have these guidelines in place.
