[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]GSCNC offers opportunites for girls with disabilities to be included in our Sleep Away Camps. They can join other girls their age for swimming, hiking, singing, arts & crafts, cookouts and other camp activities. Camp is available to girls who:

Have physical and/or developmental disabilities
Have special dietary restrictions, including food allergies
Require special medications or treatment (EpiPen, neubulizer, etc.)
Require injections (insulin, HgH etc.)

Please provide additional detailed information about your daughter on her health form so we can best accommodate her at camp. To ensure that your daughter is placed in a camp and program that best suits her needs, please contact Jenn Macios, Camping Specialist 202.274.3309 before registering your daughter for Sleep Away Camp.

I don't think it s "program" per se, but rather that they will try to take your child's needs into account to allow her access to the regular camp.[/quote]

OP here. I read the same thing on the website. I was hoping for first hand information about what they can do to help kids with developmental disabilities -- in particular, HFA -- to access the program successfully.[/quote]

Well probably not anything terribly specific.  I mean the counselors are just college girls with some adults thrown in for supervision.  I think they would probably say they would help your DD to participate socially by making sure that she goes to all the required activities, being nice to her, and making sure the other girls don't tease her and include her in activities.[/quote]
