New Year Round
Respite Weekend Billing
Information For Individual
Options Waiver
Please be advised that effective October 1, 2011, the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) has implemented a new service, Community Respite, for camps and campers that pay for camp service through the Individual Options Waiver. Therefore, please note the following important DODD mandated change in billing procedures for the Individual Options Waiver as it relates to a Recreation Unlimited Farm and Fun, Inc. (Recreation Unlimited) 2011 or 2012 Year Round Respite Weekend camp.
If you have a camper who is on the Individual Options Waiver and will be attending a Recreation Unlimited 2012 Year Round Respite Weekend camp, please be advised that after October 1, 2011, Recreation Unlimited will bill two (2) full day Community Respite units (ARN) per weekend camp, plus a $75 room and board allowance that is not a billable waiver service and is the responsibility of each individual camper to pay. This additional charge is due to the decrease in reimbursement rates that Recreation Unlimited will receive from the DODD through this Community Respite service, in order that we maintain a quality camping experience. Please adjust your camper’s PAWS to reflect this billing change. Per the DODD, we will be unable to accept HPC billing for the Individual Options Waiver after October 1, 2011.
Please contact Michelle Higgins with questions regarding your camper’s scheduled attendance at Recreation Unlimited. Please contact DODD for questions regarding PAWs and these new mandated billing procedures. Thank you for your help with this change as we continue to comply with the DODD and offer outstanding service to individuals with disabilities and health concerns through the Individual Options Waiver.

Year Round Respite
Weekend Camps
In 2012, we are offering nine weekend camps for youth (ages 8-22) and seven weekend camps for adults (ages 23 and up). Please see the list of scheduled camp dates below for the 2012 camps. Even though we have decreased our camp offerings by two weekend options, our goal is to increase total camper capacity in 2012. Recreation Unlimited is a smoke free campus.
|
Respite Weekend Camps provide 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.
Respite Weekend Camps are Friday through Sunday. Camper arrival time is Friday from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Camper departure time is Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to noon. All campers must be picked up by noon.

Fees and Funding
Currently, the Respite
Weekend Camp published

Recreation Unlimited is an Individual Options Waiver (see new billing information in the left hand column for the Year Round Respite Weekend Camp), Level One Waiver and Ohio Home Care Waiver provider.
Please inform your service coordinator of the dates that you have registered for camp and submit a request for service prior to coming to camp so that camp fees will become part of your service plan. You will be responsible for payment of any camp that is not included on your service plan.

Acceptance to camp is based on review and approval of the camper application, physical form completed and signed by your physician, and camp capacities. Due to high demands and the need for proper planning, if the camper application packet, including physical form signed by your physician and financial information, is not returned three weeks prior to your camp date, you may lose your camp slot.
Individual Options, Level One, and Ohio Home Care Waivers and Family Resources money cannot be used to pay the $25 non-refundable registration fee.
