Respite Weekends
Co-ed / Ages 6 - Adult
Friday - Sunday
$265 per weekend
Respite Weekends are fun-filled weekend camp-outs held throughout the year at Rotary Camp. Children and adults with disabilities are eligible to attend. Campers arrive on Friday evening and stay through Sunday morning. Throughout the weekend campers enjoy traditional camp activities, as well as special seasonal ones. These weekends are great opportunities for campers to see their old friends and make new ones as well. It’s also a great way for a first-time camper to gain a short overnight experience.
The goals of our Respite programs are to increase camper’s independence and self-esteem; develop social skills; and to further strengthen the family unit by providing a safe, fun and nurturing environment for individuals with disabilities.
Camper drop off is from 6pm-7pm on Friday. Camper pick-up is between 10am - 11am on Sunday. A parent program is held at 10:15am on Sunday to showcase your campers talents and the activities from the weekend.

As stated above, the goals of our Respite programs are to increase camper’s independence and self-esteem; develop social skills; and to further strengthen the family unit by providing a safe, fun and nurturing environment for individuals with disabilities.
