Specialty Camps
Prader-Willi Syndrome Weeklong Camp Offered in 2008
Prader-Willi Syndrome Camp is for youth and adults (ages 8 and up) with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS). 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.

Meals and program activities are totally adapted to those with PWS. A controlled meal environment with a 1,200 calorie diet has been successful for PWS Camp in the past due to the increased activity level at camp. PWS 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 (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.
PWS Camp is Sunday through Friday. Camper arrival time is Sunday from 4:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Camper departure time is Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
