My child is incontinent or enuretic (bedwetter). Can he/she still go to camp?
Absolutely. Your child should not be deprived of an overnight camp experience for this reason. There may be several different causes, some physiological or some psychological, as to why your child has difficulties with bowel or bladder control or has bedwetting issues. Although Camp Kirk does not offer treatment for either condition, it does offer a nurturing and supportive environment where your child will feel comfortable, at ease and well supported in dealing with these issues. For sanitary and health reasons, the wearing of protective undergarments is necessay and they are provided at camp free of charge. You and your child should know that he/she is one of many children who have similar challenges. Our goal is to give them the opportunity to enjoy a “normal” overnight camping experience, free of the stigmas and the teasing that so often accompany these issues.
