Camp Frog is open to children and teens between the ages of 8 and 18 (having completed 3rd grade but not yet graduated high school) who have a primary diagnosis of epilepsy/seizure disorder. The EAWCP strives to make a camping experience available to all children with epilepsy; however, campers must meet all basic eligibility criteria. This includes but is not limited to independent self care skills such as toileting, bathing, communicating, feeding skills, etc. as well as the skills needed to function independently within an inclusionary setting.
Camp Frog places extra supportive and medical services into an existing YMCA summer camp program, allowing children who have seizures to enjoy summer camp just like their peers.
The EAWCP provides counselors in the cabins along with the camp program staff. Additionally, a neurologist and nurse are on-site during the entire week of camp. This medical staff supervises medication administration and any seizure-related medical care.
Please pre-register for Camp Frog as early as possible. Once we have received your interest in Camp Frog, we will send you the full application.
