Disclaimer: Our goal is to ensure a safe and supportive environment for all children. If a child exhibits behaviors such as aggression, elopement, or other challenges requiring one-on-one support, we may need to remove them from the camp, as we are not staffed to provide individualized behavioral management during camp. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
