Tell me more about camp

Campers must be 5 years of age (by August 1,2013) to 13 years of age.
Parents may register their camper to attend for one or two weeks of camp.
There is a steady rotation of fun and creative activities including arts and crafts, sports, dance, games, water play, special events, social interaction, and music.
Children are assigned to a camp group with names such as Golden Guppies or Red Robins, with children close to their age.
Each group is led by a trained therapist or professional, as well as counselors. Camp Escapades also includes many youth volunteers.

Is there a parent orientation?
Yes, a parent orientation meeting will be held at Pediatric Therapy Network's clinic a few weeks before camp for all parents of confirmed campers. It is strongly recommended that you attend this meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to provide general camp information, pick up your camper(s) t-shirts, complete any outstanding paper work and answer your questions. This meeting will prepare you and your child for a fun-filled and safe summer camp experience.

Is my child eligible to attend camp?
In order to make camp a fun and safe experience for all children, your child must be able to do the following without showing agressive or unsafe behaviors. Please note that camp coordination team reserves the right to request that a family member or 1:1 assistant remain with the child if he or she is unable to meet the criteria listed below:

Participate in group activities
Remain in a group without running away
Attend to activities for at least 10 to 15 minutes
Transition from one activity to the next with minimal assistance
Display no aggressive behaviors (such as hitting, biting, scratching, etc.)

Please note that children with mobility challenges are welcome at camp. A 1:1 assistant or family member must accompany any camper who is in need of assistance for feeding, medication, bathroom use or mobility.

Will my child be receiving therapy at Camp Escapades?
Although most camp groups and activities are led by a pediatric therapist, the focus of camp is not treatment. Camp Escapades' objective is for children of all abilities to enjoy a camp experience as opposed to meeting treatment goals. Therapy treatment and daily notes will not be provided. Group leaders will be present at all times to facilitate a child's participation, modifying or adapting the situation/activity as needed.
