 2008

Summer Camps

This listing of camp opportunities is to be used as a guide only. Each camp must be contacted separately and your must use your own judgment as to what camp will bestserve your child. This is NOT an endorsement or recommendation for any camp listed.

The Children With Special Needs Fund (for children eligible for Children’s Special Health Care Services) may pay up to $500 on a “first come, first served” basis toward the cost of camp. You may contact the Fund directly at 517-241-7420 or through CSHCS at 800-359-3722.
 

Camps sometimes have their own scholarship programs, so you may want to ask the camp you are interested in about financial aid.

Camp-O-Rama
Camp-O-Rama, a booklet listing camps for people with disabilities, is available through Michigan's Assistive Technology Resource. The booklet not only offers a listing of camps in Michigan, but background questions to guide you in your quest for a successful camping experience for your child. The book recommends that before your talk with a camp director, or visit a camp, write out a list of questions. If possible, take your child to visit the camp in operation before you make a final decision.

The Camp-O-Rama guide is free. If you would like a copy of it, you can call Michigan's Assistive Technology Resource at 517-224-0333 or 800-274-7426.
