If your child has complex health conditions, serious illness, or chronic disease or conditions and you are considering camp, please reach out to us to discuss and determine if safe and appropriate levels of care, management, and accommodations are available, including staff trained in specific disease groups and management.

If our program is unable to meet or serve your child’s needs, we may be able to recommend one that can.
