Support For Our Parents
We understand this may be the first time your child will be away from home for an extended period of time. Because of this, we understand, you may have many doubts and concerns about what we do at the camp. Let us take a minute to explain what the program is about and what you and your child can expect.
The camp staff is available to assist your family. Your child’s Case Manager is the person who is responsible for your child’s coordination of treatment. The Case Manager is the staff with whom you will have the most contact. We also have Youth Service Counseling staff who will help your child with day to day activities, assignments, and advancement preparation. The Case Manager and Youth Counselors have a real concern for the welfare of your child but under no circumstances will they accept inappropriate behavior. Their job is to teach your child to become a more responsible person. They will expect your child to act responsibly. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
