Camp Programs 

Summer is around the corner. Our member organizations offer a wide selection of camp programs, including day programs, weekend camps, and weeklong summer camps. These include camps for children, teens, and adults with epilepsy. Children with epilepsy should have the same fun camp experiences that all children get to have. Check out the camp programs available today.
