Tell me more about camp

• Camp is held the first three weeks in August at Seaside Elementary School in Torrance.
  
  
• Campers range in age from 3 to 13. Our four year old campers attend half day sessions from 9:00 a.m. to Noon. Our campers 5 to 13 years of age attend full-day sessions from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
  
  
• Parents may request that their camper attend for one, two, or three weeks of camp. However, in order to provide our program for as many children as possible, we may not be able to schedule a child for all three weeks. Selection of campers to participate will be made by PTN's camp coordinators. Current and past PTN clients are given first priority. Parents will be notified of their child's acceptance to the program no later than the end of May.
  
  
• There is a steady rotation of fun and creative activities including arts and crafts, sports, dance, games, water play, special events (at least one per week), social interaction, and music.
  
  
• Children are assigned to a camp group like Golden Guppies or Red Robins that coincides with their age. Last year, we had 13 camp groups. Groups are often inclusive as children with special needs, as well as typically developing siblings and friends participate in activities together. Many parents who send their children who have special needs to Camp Escapades also send the child's siblings along as well for a positive camp experience the children can enjoy together.
  
  
• Each group is led by a trained therapist and includes a co-leader, two counselors, counselors-in-training, and many youth volunteers.
