Camp We Can
The Exceptional Family Member Program and Child and Youth Services are planning another fun-filled Summer Day Camp to be held at the Dale Wayrynen Recreation Center/Single Pool, building #6145 Desert Storm Avenue. Camp We Can, formerly known as EFMP Summer Camp will be held from July 16-27, Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. to 2 p.m.
All special needs children/youth, teens and young adults, ages 3 through 21, who are currently enrolled in the EFMP, are invited to attend. The camp is of no charge. We are sure that all campers will be challenged and entertained by our program of games, crafts, swimming and field trips. Breakfast, snack and lunch will be provided. Medical support will be on site at all times.
Sharon Fields, EFMP Manager, will be the Director of the camp and Sunny Smith will be the co-Director of the camp. Dee Bonnell of Community Recreation Division will be in charge of our Adaptive Aquatics Program. Personnel from Child and Youth Services will assist the camp staff. All of our volunteers receive professional instruction and training prior to the camp opening. In addition, volunteers will submit to and pass a thorough background check.
If your child/youth, teen or young adult would like to attend the Summer Day Camp complete the attached application packet.
- Application Form – Answer all questions completely and sign the form in the spaces provided.
- Examining Physicians Form – Ask your Primary Care Manager to sign your child’s form, which will verify that your child is physically able to participate in summer camp activities.
- Power of Attorney – The signature must be notarized to ensure that a camper receives medical care in case of emergency. A battalion or brigade S-1 can notarize this form if the military sponsor is present to sign. If the military sponsor is away, the Legal Assistance Office personnel in Building #125 on Forrest Road will notarize the form for a non-military spouse.
