Special needs

We welcome children with special needs and health conditions into our programs. We accommodate children with Autism-spectrum disorders and other pervasive developmental challenges. We do ask parents to be as open as possible with us about their children's challenges in order to help us create the best possible experience for them.

We also want to make sure that extra attention needed by some children does not come at the expense of the rest of the group. Our strong recommendation is that if a child has an aide in school, that an aide should be provided by the family for our programs as well. Based on the initial phone conversation with the parent, we may accept a child into the program without an aide on a trial basis. However, if at any time the Camp Director feels that the team's attention is unevenly distributed, we may ask the family to provide an aide, or ask that the child be removed from the program.

If we ask the family to remove the child from the program, and the family had fully disclosed the child's condition and followed our recommendations, we will issue a partial refund on a pro-rated basis. If the child’s condition was not fully disclosed prior to the program, or if the family had not followed our recommendations, we may reduce the amount of refund or not issue one at all.

We also take every precaution to create an environment that is safe for kids with allergies by not allowing any nuts or nut products to be brought in as snacks or lunches.
