There was simply too much occurring during the week to deal with all of the related issues. Camp Jabber Jaw was able to use a low-cost accessible college dormitory for all campers, families and volunteers. Accessibility is obvious important and will restrict some potential sites. Fund raising can be time-consuming and must be done far in advance of the actual camp. Good promotional material, particularly after completing the first camp, will greatly enhance the ability to acquire funding.
