Summer 2023 Highlights

We could not provide these life-changing opportunities for our campers without the support of our medical advisory board, Camp Aldersgate Board of Directors, health agencies, medical team, counselors, volunteers, donors and community. Thank you to all who help make our Summer Camps possible!

Eligibility

Residential Summer Camps are week-long residential camping experiences for campers with specific medical diagnoses.

Kota Camps are inclusive camping experiences for campers with and without medical conditions and/or disabilities. These camps are available for children ages 6–26, and we encourage campers to attend with a friend or a sibling.

Please note that all campers will be automatically placed on a waiting list upon registration. This is to help determine eligibility and ensure that all medical forms are turned in prior to camp.

Testimonials

Camp gave her much-needed confidence to do the things her siblings or peers her age do and understand that disability does not equate to inability.

COVID-19 Prevention Policy

Safety has always been our top priority. At Camp Aldersgate, Inc. we look to our Med Camps, Inc. board for medical safety guidance. Our medical advisory board still strongly recommends that all campers be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. However, based on available research and the decrease in active cases, COVID-19 vaccination is no longer required to attend in-person camps for most of our programs including Kota Camp; Cardiac, Arthritis & Kidney Disorders Camp; Diabetes Camp; Spina Bifida Camp; Bleeding Disorders & Oncology Camp; and Weekend Camps.

We will continue to monitor the evolving health standards and recommendations from the medical community and adjust protocols as needed.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to our Director of Programs at [email protected].
