Camp EAGR<\/h1>\n\n\n
\n\n
\n

Each summer children with epilepsy and their siblings have the best week of their lives!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Register your child(ren) by paying your non-refundable deposit of $35 per child in order to save your spot. Registration is opening soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day Camp <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day Camp is an option for Camp EAGR 2026! For those kids not ready yet to stay overnight at camp, we are offering a Monday – Friday day camp option. Drop-off is between 8-9am and pick-up is between 4-5pm. If you need additional flexibility, please contact our camp director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both day and overnight campers will enjoy a week of swimming, horseback riding, rock wall climbing, laughing and having fun with kids who also have epilepsy. Your child will make new friends and get to experience things they might not get to do anywhere else. Once they experience Camp EAGR, it will quickly become one of the best weeks of their life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For campers aged 16 & 17 who have the ability and desire to become volunteer counselors, we offer a Counselor-In-Training (CIT) program. CITs are provided training, additional responsibilities, and special perks. More details about this program can be found below in our Camp FAQs. If your child is interested in becoming a CIT, please choose the CIT option during camp registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Epilepsy is a hidden disorder. Despite how common it is, fear and stigma exist. It\u2019s easy to feel isolated and alone. But at Camp EAGR, everyone knows what it\u2019s like to have epilepsy. Campers don\u2019t have to be embarrassed by taking medications, having seizures, or having epilepsy. Everyone at camp understands! Kids with epilepsy can be just KIDS! And siblings connect with other siblings who know what it\u2019s like to have epilepsy in the family. Watch our camp video to see what Camp EAGR is all about!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteer Opportunity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every summer we have volunteer opportunities at our two sleepaway camps for children and young adults with epilepsy. Our camps offer volunteers<\/a> a rewarding experience like no other. Please contact our Camp Director, Mike Radell, for more information or fill out an application<\/a> to get started.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
