Specialty Camps

Epilepsy Foundation - Camp Firebird
Summer Residential Camp

Epilepsy Foundation - Camp Firebird (EFCF) is for youth and teens (ages 7 to 17) with Epilepsy. Campers spend the week at camp enjoying a variety of activities while their families

and caregivers have the opportunity to spend time away from the daily care of the individual.  Recreation Unlimited is a smoke free campus.


EFCF Camp provides a full schedule of activities, lodging, meals and snacks, counselors, program leaders, on-site
nursing and a great environment for
indoor and outdoor fun! Examples of program activities include swimming, fishing, canoeing, climbing, sports, archery, creekin', nature exploration, arts and crafts, cooking, theater, campfire, dancing and more!


A fully equipped Health Services Center and Nurses Quarters with a team of nurses that administer all camper medications and medical treatments are provided. All meals and snacks are provided with healthy choices available. Special diets can be accommodated. Items such as Recreation Unlimited sweatshirts and t-shirts are available at the camp store for purchase that enables the campers to go home with a souvenir from camp.

EFCF Camp is Sunday through Friday. Camper arrival time is Sunday from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Camper departure time is Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
