| Who: |
Children with challenges and their personal aide |
| What: |
A 5-day overnight camp opportunity to experience camp activities with the
guidance of an OT & PT. Daily programs consist of
2 morning and 2 afternoon activity periods as well as an
evening activity session. Additionally, a sibling
overnight program coincides with the special needs track,
with a limit of 25 participants. A
camper/counselor ratio of 5:1 will be maintained in addition
to the aide. |
| Where: |
Camp Angelfish is held at Camp Winaukee on the shores of
Lake Winnipesaukee, located in New Hampshire. |
| When: |
Every year for 5 days towards the end of August. |
| Why: |
To assist children in leisure activities that promote
increased self-esteem, self-confidence and togetherness.
Additionally, many of you are interested in sending your
child to overnight camp but have concerns regarding the
length of stay. This is your chance to try out overnight
camp for a short period of times. For additional

**Please note you do not receive direct
therapy at camp. You will participate in camp
activities and when necessary, a therapist will help you accommodate/adapt
to the activity. Ages 6 and up have attended camp with
good success. Keep in mind the age ranges from 6 up to
18 years old. Some campers have been coming since the
first camp 6 years ago. Many campers have gone on to
residential sleep away camp. New and old campers alike
will find a spirit of adventure and camaraderie on the
shores of Lake Winnipesaukee. Come join the fun.
