The Painted Turtle is now accepting applications for the Skeletal Dysplasia and MPS Summer Session at The Painted Turtle to be held August 13-18, 2011. Summer Camp provides an opportunity to share good times, and peer support with other children who have the same medical condition. Campers will enjoy boating and fishing, arts and crafts, woodshop, music, and much more! And doctors and nurses are available at The Painted Turtle all week to take care of any medical needs campers might have while at camp.
The Painted Turtle is located in Lake Hughes in the Antelope Valley, 40 miles north of Los Angeles. It’s a beautiful facility with a fully equipped medical center and temperature-controlled cabins with private baths. All meals are provided and served in the dining hall overlooking the lake. There is no cost for campers to attend this program!
Summer Camp is for campers, ages 7-16
Please note, the camper must fulfill the following criteria:
* Minimum developmental age of 5 years
* Ability to communicate needs independently
* Ability to function and participate in a group
* Can be without a family member for the duration of the camp session
* A bus will be available to provide transportation to and from The Painted Turtle and the Burbank Airport.
* Although we would like to accept every child who applies, space is limited.
We hope to see you at camp!
