If you think that your child\u2019s condition will prevent him or her from participating in a summer camp, it\u2019s time to think again. Many camps offer specialized medical care for specific disabilities or one-on-one buddies, while other camps provide tutoring for individuals with learning disabilities in addition to outdoor activities. Camps offer an opportunity to learn new skills, connect with other children, and experience new adventures.<\/p>\n
Camp Head Strong offers children and teens with hydrocephalus a week of summer fun, education, and social connections. Condition-specific camps have proven to be an effective way for children to learn more about their conditions and to develop adaptive behaviors. At Camp Accomplish, children learn from peers and adult volunteers who live effectively with the same health conditions and are offered hope for the future.<\/p>\n
In addition to fun, the goal of Camp Head Strong is to reduce the social isolation often associated with this condition and increase each camper\u2019s knowledge and understanding of hydrocephalus. The camp provides opportunities for the children and teens to work with professional staff and become better self-advocates and self-managers of their condition. Parents can feel comfortable that their children are under the care of trained and experienced doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals who are experts in the field.<\/p>\n
