Notes about program practices

Any additional program practices you noted at the agency that are not listed above that you feel are helpful to people with disabilities and their families:

It is always good practice to get a list of the program activities that the camper will be partaking in ahead of time. Ask as many questions as possible about all programs to make the best decision about the skills the camper has and what could benefit them to achieve the best they possibly can with accommodations. The camp is the best at listening and making camp as accessible and fun as possible.
