Respite Care weekends at camp Respite care is specifically designed for children and adults with special needs; developmental disabilities, learning disabilities and individuals with physical disabilities and challenges. This program provides a relaxing and fun “home away from home” experience. While participants get a break from their usual schedules, family members and caregivers enjoy a break from daily demands.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
Our unique camp settings encourage participants to try a variety of new and traditional activities. Indoor and outdoor fun varies with the seasons. Among the many choices are crafts, music, dancing, sledding, snowshoeing, crosscountry skiing, hiking, biking, canoeing, fishing, swimming, sports, games, cooking, day trips and more.
• Food service professionals qualified to prepare meals matching special diet needs. (We provide breakfast, lunch and dinner on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday.)
Individuals ages five to adult with developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, autism, cerebral palsy, physical or other disabilities, are welcome to attend.
WE PUT CARE AND SAFETY FIRST
