Campers under the age of eight years must demonstrate skills at a six-year level or above. Camper has well established communication system, verbal or augmentative, that allows for effective peer and counselor interaction. Because of the physical demands of some campers, consideration will be given to the total numbers of campers with quadriplegia who are ventilator dependent versus the numbers of campers who are able to assume some independent responsibility for their own care with supervision. Any camper who develops an acute respiratory infection or other illness, which necessitates a scope of treatment greater than camp can safely treat to allow continued participation in activities, will be sent home. The camp physician will assess campers who develop an illness and, in conjunction with the camp director, a determination will be made as to the status of that camper.
Camper needs to demonstrate emotional stability and maturity.
Camper must have physical and mental stamina to participate in a more challenging outdoor program, and must have desire to fully participate in the daily activities.
