Children and adults with physical disabilities are appropriate for these sessions. Physical disabilities refer to conditions which cause a deformity or interference with normal functions of the bones, muscles or joints (including polio, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, hydrocephalus, amputation, muscular dystrophy, closed head injuries); visually impaired, seizure disorder; speech/hearing impairment.
Individuals with moderate or mild developmental disabilities or similar disabilities (Down’s Syndrome) who can participate and benefit from a resident camping experience and are disabled to the extent they cannot attend a typical camp program are appropriate for this session. Individuals with mild developmental disabilities are usually accepted during this session.
Campers may have one or more of the following: Developmental and/or physical disabilities involving muscles or joints; blind or partially sighted; deaf or hearing disabled, seizure disorders, and behavior disorders that require one-to one supervision.
Campers attending theses sessions usually require more supervision and personal care. Camper groups are smaller and volunteers usually supplement our staff during these sessions. Sometimes children with autistic-like behaviors attend this session based on supervision needs.
This is a family camp that offers educational & recreational programming for families to camp together as well as meet other families and professionals who interface with Sensory Integration Disorders.
Theme camp (i.e.: Art Camp, Challenge Camp, Aquatic Camp, Outdoor Adventure Camp) we will be offering to typical and/or kids with mild disabilities who attend a regular class room setting and who require no personal care the opportunity to participate in a specialized camp program.
