Eligibility |
| PROCEDURE FOR ADMISSION: |
 School nurses should ensure that forms are completed before sending the entire packet to the camp. Incomplete forms will delay the selection process.
In each case, appropriate personnel such as teachers, principals, or social workers may confer about the child's need for camp.
A copy of the Standard Health Record Form must be attached to a Camp Health Form. Please make sure that the top and bottom parts of the Camp Health Form are completed and signed.
Parents are responsible for the transportation of their children to and from the camp.
|
| GUIDELINES FOR SELECTION: |
|
Our mission is to serve children who would benefit from two weeks in a residential camping environment who otherwise could not attend camp. The following are guidelines for selection:
Children between the ages of 6-13 are eligible for the camper program. Children between the ages of 15-16 are eligible for the Counselor-In-Training program.
The family must reside in Middlesex County, New Jersey.
All forms must be completely and properly filled out.
Health information, inoculations, and other medical records must conform to the school record.
Family income should be minimal with consideration to household size.
Family environment should be analyzed and priority given to those children in difficult housing situations, especially with minimal neighborhood resources for recreation.
Please do not refer children who have other plans for summer camp or who are classified as emotionally disturbed.
All referral sources are asked to inform the Camp Office of any cancellations.
The Nurse Referral Application is an important piece in making comparative judgments for decisions on acceptance.

| DESCRIPTION OF GATEWAY PROGRAM: |
|
The Gateway Program provides a select group of campers ages 9-13 with an opportunity for an extended stay during the summer. These children would be able to attend the cam for 4-8 continuous weeks. The program was conceived with the idea to support children from difficult home environments or with health problems. During the Gateway weekends, the staff help the children develop skills in anger management, self-esteem, and conflict resolution through a teambuilding process. A maximum of 20 campers are accommodated: 10 females, and 10 males. |
