My child has specific food allergies or sensitivities
We can accommodate different food options, by coordinating with the kitchen and also preparing food that is brought from home. We are unable to accommodate a gluten free or keto diet through the kitchen. However, arrangements can be made with the family for the meals to be sent and stored for the week. We can provide families with a menu prior to camp to match meals or use certain items from the menu for their meals. We have speech and language pathologists who specialize in various diet adaptations, including various food consistencies and modifications during meal times. We ask that you provide as much information as possible on your application and we will reach out to discuss and devise a plan.
Cost of camp and campership
The cost of camp for families for each camper is $250.00. We strive to keep the price at a manageable level for all our families and strive to raise money through grant writing and fundraising efforts throughout the year. We also offer “Camperships” to those families who qualify that will cover the entire cost of camp.
Is there transportation to camp for my child?
We provide bus transportation for campers to and from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, free of charge. Bus leaves Monday morning and returns Friday evening. Our nurses ride the bus with the campers both to and from camp.
I’m worried my child with be home sick
Home sickness is a very common feeling for children to have, especially if your child has not been away from home before. We have professional psychologists and others that will support your child throughout the week.
We work closely with your child to work through these feelings. No phone calls or electronic communication such as facetime is allowed.
Where is camp Located?
We partner with a facility called Camp Victory, located in Millville, PA.
Camp Victory is a fully accessible facility that partners with many partner groups throughout the summer and fall in order to serve various populations. Their facilities include a rock wall, pool, cabins, adaptive playground, dining hall, and med shed.

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month 💚 Brain injury is the leading cause of disability and death in children and adolescents in the U.S. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the two age groups at greatest risk for brain injury are age 0-4 and 15-19.
Among those ages 0 to 19, each year an average of 62,000 children sustain brain injuries requiring hospitalization as a result of motor vehicle crashes, falls, sports injuries, physical abuse and other causes. A staggering 564,000 children are seen in hospital emergency departments for brain injury and released.
Among children ages 0 to 14, brain injury results in an estimated 2,685 deaths, 37,000 hospitalizations, and 435,000 emergency department visits. While the symptoms of a brain injury in children are similar to those experienced by adults, the functional impact can be very different. Children are not little adults; the brain of a child is still developing. The cognitive impairments of children with brain injury may not be immediately obvious after the injury, but may become apparent as the child gets older. These implications can create lifetime challenges for living and learning for children, their families, schools, and communities. In this section, you will find various resources for dealing with the most common implications of brain injury in children. www.biausa.org #survivor #braininjuryawareness #pediatricbraininjury
