IMPORTANT CHANGES FOR 2024!

In anticipation of fewer staff again for the summer of 2024 we will be making the following changes:

• One to one staffing will not be offered.
• Sessions 1 through 5 will be limited to campers that do not require high level care. This will include personal care as well as nursing care.  Camper applicants will be evaluated to determine our ability to safely provide required care.
• Sessions 6 and 7 will be reserved for Friends and Family sessions where campers requiring a higher level of care may attend with their own companion to provide for their care.
• Campers taking more than 5 medications which includes prescription, over the counter, vitamins, and any other supplements, will be required to bring their medications to camp in pharmacy prepared blister packs or sealed pill packs.
