Camp TLC is a unique camp held for the past 20 years for families who have a child
under the age of 4 with a significant medical, cognitive, developmental or mental health
disability. It offers a number of different services for families.

1. For parents, Camp TLC is an opportunity to attend workshops related to their child's
disability and network with other parents and the speakers. Topics may include:
speech, behavior, therapy and/or medical issues, father's support group and mother's
support group.
2. For the little ones requiring specialized childcare, we will have a staff of doctors and
nurses available during the presentations and workshops.
3. For all siblings, there will be supervised activities at designated times, such as arts
and crafts, swimming, and much more.

Camp is held over one weekend each year. The entire family is encouraged to attend
and camp is designed to bring the family together to get away from the hassles of
everyday life. Camp is a huge undertaking, requiring over 100 volunteers. Parents who
have attended camp often say how comfortable they felt leaving their children in the
hands of our qualified volunteers. The care and attention each child receives is
first-rate. We have space for between 35-40 families to attend each year. Please call us
if you are interested in attending camp as either a family or a volunteer.

Here are what a few families have said about their experience at Camp TLC:

"One of the Best experiences our family has ever had!!"

“I enjoyed the sense of community and being with other families with kids like ours. The
support and kindness of the volunteers was great.”

“The amount of resources available was tremendous. The atmosphere of the weekend
has energized me to work with my daughter even harder than before. It was reinforcing
to be with other parents facing similar issues. It was great to get away from it all with my
husband and daughter in such peaceful surroundings.”

“Hearing the speaker’s insights on lived disabilities was great because it really brought
great hope for our child.”

“I appreciated all the loving care given to my children so that I could truly listen and
learn from the speakers without wondering if they were okay.”
