How does Explore Summer Programs handle special needs?
If your child has special requirements, please notify the camp director to discuss individual needs. All of our camps are equipped to handle students with mild disabilities. All students must be able to verbally communicate, toilet on their own, eat on their own and work in cooperative groups. If you child has special medication needs, there are places to keep this medication. His/her instructor will be in charge of making sure the student receives the medication at the time the parent requested (i.e. insulin, allergy medicine, ADHD medicine) If your child has allergic reactions to certain types of food, you will be able to note it in the medical forms.
