How much does summer camp cost?
Cost varies according to session. Click here for costs.
Should I fax my summer camp application?
No, applications are not accepted via fax, e-mail or electronic media.  We need originals for legal reasons.  This application is downloadable for your convenience only.  Original completed applications with all signatures must be mailed by the deadlines to the address above.
Should I mail and at the same time FAX a copy of the application?
Please do not FAX your application unless the camp office instructs you to.  If instructed by the camp office to FAX, you must send original with signatures and deposit within 10 days in order to hold your child's spot.  Duplicate applications delay the processing of your child's application.
My child was just recently diagnosed and my application will be late.  Should I still send it?
Late applications will be processed at the discretion of the directors.  After the deadline, priority will be given to newly diagnosed applicants (within the previous 12 months).  Call the camp office for information on how to proceed (CLICK HERE).  We strongly believe that newly diagnosed children in particular benefit greatly from attending camp.  They are able to see that there are many children like them at camp.  They do not need to know how to inject their own insulin.
Should I wait for the doctor's checkup to send the application?
You can send the application without the doctor's page (page 3).  Be sure to copy the page and fill out the back (page 4) yourself and send that with the application.  Please include a note with the date when you will be able to send the medical.  It must be done and be received  by the camp office at least two weeks before camp.  
If I send in the application is my child automatically accepted?
Determination of your child's eligibility will be made by the camp directors.  You will be notified by mail of missing information and/or your child's acceptance to the program.  If your child's application is rejected your deposit will be returned.
My child was promised sponsorship by our local church/club/organization, should I wait for their check?
Please send in the application with all the required documentation and any deposit you can send as soon as possible.  Please be sure to fill out the financial aid form completely.  Include the name of the organization, their address and a contact person's name and address.  We will begin processing as soon as we receive those documents. You can send the sponsorship check when you receive it or the sponsor can send it directly to the camp office. Sponsorship does not guarantee acceptance if the child does not meet acceptance requirements.
Why do you ask for a report card?
Report cards are indicative of a child's performance in a group setting.  Generally, they can give an indication of how the child will behave at camp.  By the way, you don't have to send the last report card of the school year, just the latest one you have.
Can my child wear the insulin pump to camp?
Yes.  Many children come to camp on the pump.  We request that the child have at least one month using the pump so most of the basal and dose adjustments are made before arriving at camp.  All children will be supervised when giving boluses and changing infusion sites at camp.  All doses must be reviewed and approved by the counselors before being given.  If the child does not know how to do this they will be assisted and given instruction appropriate to their age level.
