(CAMP) Children’s Association for Maximum Potential, Registration Open for 2023 Summer Camp
Children’s Association for Maximum Potential (CAMP) Registration open for 2023 Summer Camp for individuals with mild to severe medical conditions or disabilities. Campers, Teen and young adult Volunteers, and Healthcare Professionals needed!
Since 1979, Children’s Association for Maximum Potential (CAMP) has provided safe and fun-filled recreational experiences year-round for individuals (ages 5 – 55) with diagnosis such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Intellectual Disability, Cerebral Palsy, Traumatic Brain Injury, Spina Bifida, visual impairment, and/or hearing impairment.
The centerpiece of these experiences is CAMP’s summer camp – a series of 6-day/5-night sessions for children and adults, aged 5 to 55 years, with mild to severe medical conditions or disabilities (including medical, physical, intellectual, and developmental). Siblings aged 5-13 years without a medical condition or disability may attend as well, giving families a much-needed respite from the demands of 24/7 care.
Registration is now open for campers at https://campcamp.org/campers/
Summer sessions are held in the beautiful Texas Hill Country at CAMP’s 55-acre property located directly on the Guadalupe River in Center Point, Texas. Campers can participate in many activities including canoeing, horseback riding, swimming, music, recreation, karaoke, arts & crafts, outdoor cooking, and so much more. Everything is adapted to meet the needs of the individual camper, so they experience success.
“While at Summer Camp, campers are assigned to a Tribe based on gender and age. Here they are partnered with a trained counselor who provides a caring and supportive environment for the camper while fostering the social development of campers and their connections with peers,” says Susan Osborne, CAMP CEO.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:
CAMP is heavily recruiting teen, young adult, and healthcare professionals for amazing volunteer experiences this summer. Applications are now available at https://campcamp.org/
All training is included, and volunteers can earn up to 198 service hours with training and one week of camp while gaining valuable leadership skills. Healthcare professionals can earn CEU’s while gaining hands-on experiences with campers, volunteer, and staff.
“Our volunteers tell us they leave CAMP with a deeper compassion for all walks of life, as well as lifelong friendships,” adds CAMP’s Chief Program Officer, Brandon G. Briery, PhD. “Many of our young volunteers decide to pursue careers in the healthcare fields, because of their experiences at CAMP; many of our healthcare volunteers have been with us for 30+ years.”
Registration is now open on the CAMP website for campers as well as for volunteers. Attendance for each of the sessions is limited, and CAMP expects slots to fill up quickly.
