    • Key Items To Remember: Shower towels, beach towels, bug spray, sunscreen, and a reusable water bottle.

    • Earmuffs: If your child uses noise-controlling earmuffs to assist with processing and/or sensory sensitivity, please bring them with you.
    • Fishing: This year, we are offering fishing as an option for our family choice activities on Thursday afternoon. Space is limited. If you are interested in fishing and have your own fishing pole or rod, please bring it to camp.
  • Bleeding Disorder Supplies: Bring any supplies you use to treat your/your child’s bleeding disorder, including infusion/injections supplies. Our Medical Team will not have extra supplies available, outside from what is used in infusion class.
