Camp CAMP

Alex is off to Camp. For 15 years he has gone to Summer camp for one week in July. The camp is located Northwest of San Antonio in a little town called Center Point. CAMP, or Children's Association for Maximum Potential, enables children with disabilities to thrive in a recreational environment where safety and nurturing are primary.
CAMP continues to provide summer camp experience for children with no verbal communication or self-help skills or with need for multiple medications around the clock.
In order to allow regular care providers a complete respite experience, we accept the siblings of our campers CAMP was organized in 1979 and is accredited by the American Camp Association. more
Alex seems excited to meet his new counsolers Chrisey and Tyler. She is from San Antonio and he from Houston.
Camp CAMP has a bed capacity of over 300 overnight guests. CAMP's 55 acres include an archery range, dining hall with kitchen, outdoor sports court, medical library, swimming pool, several covered classrooms, and an activity pavilion. Campers sleep in large air-conditioned and wheelchair-accessible cabins.

Campers are assigned to tribes based on age and gender. Each tribe has an experienced supervising Chief Cabin Counselor (CCC), an Assistant Cabin Counselor (or A1), and 8-10 additional counselors. This year Alex is a pawnee (17-21 year old) and can attend for two more years. They have now started an adult camp, so Alex may still be able to attend as he gets older.
Here Marycke checks off with his counselors what Alex has packed for camp. Later we will meet with the medical staff and review his meds. Everyone of course is hoping he will have a GREAT week with no seizures!
