Special Connections
Camp Briarwood partners with the Special Connections ministry, a community outreach to families touched by disability. We want to welcome you to join us at camp this summer!
ACTIVITIES: Each Special Camper participates in a group with typically-developing campers and is offered the full range of camp activities.
COUNSELORS: Each camper is assigned his/her own counselor for the week. The counselors are able to attend to any special needs and to provide support in order for the camper to participate with a typical camp group. Counselors are trained to understand specific disabilities of the campers. High emphasis is placed on camper safety and each counselor is trained in safety techniques.
SESSIONS: There are Day and Overnight Camp sessions available for Special Connections Campers.
DETAILS: The same rates, check-In/check-out procedures, activities, and attire apply to Special Connections Campers as to typical campers.
REGISTRATION PROCESS: Upon receipt of your registration form and deposit, you will be contacted by the Special Connections staff to discuss your child’s specific needs, to choose a camp session (based on availability), and to answer your questions. Confirmation of your child’s placement in the camp program will only be made after contact with the Special Connections staff.
