Year Round Respite
Weekend Camps

Due to the continued growth of the Respite Weekend Camps, we are now offering seven weekend camps for youth only (ages 8-22) and seven weekend camps for adults only (ages 23 and up) and two weekend camps youth and adult combined. Please see the list of scheduled camps dates below for the sixteen Respite Weekend Camps offered in 2008.

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 (on belay!), 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.

Send in Your Registration
Registrations are held on a

first-come, first-served basis.
You may sign up for as many
weekends as you would like
but space is limited. After you
send in your registration and

registration fee, a camper application packet, including physical form will be sent to you for completion. 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 spot.

Individual Options, Level One, and Ohio Home Care Waivers and Family Resources money cannot be used to pay the $25 non-refundable registration fee.
