Medical staff will have access to our consultant physician, who provides standing PRN orders, consults on specific cases, and can prescribe as needed. Our Medical Coordinator will act as a liaison between medical staff and the leadership team, and provide training and information about camp policies and procedures.

Camper Support Staff
Each week, we host 1-2 Camper Support Professionals (CSPs) who act as consultants to the leadership team and cabin staff. These are typically mental health professionals, special educators, related service providers, or other clinicians with a background in behavior management, sensory processing, social emotional learning, or other related areas.
CSPs will work with the camper support coordinator for orientation to the camp program and structure, and work in collaboration with the leadership team, medical staff, kitchen, and cabin staff to support campers with additional support needs.

Other Volunteer opportunities
We recognize that many others have gifts and talents they wish to offer to the camp program! Often, due to the physical limitations of our space we're not in a position to host additional volunteers. However, we encourage you to reach out directly to the camp office with any questions. We are unable to host parents of campers as volunteers during their child's stay at camp.
