2010 Camp Oz:  |  June 20 - 25, 2010       The 2010 Camp Oz Session is Full!

Camp Ozawizeniba (Oz, for short) is a fun, week-long overnight camp for boys and girls, ages
9 - 17, whose primary medical condition is epilepsy and other seizure disorders. Campers enjoy a wonderful summertime experience, gain a better understanding of epilepsy, and meet others who know what it's like to live with seizures. Kids will have fun, learn new skills and realize that they are not the only child that has seizures.

Camp Oz combines a traditional camp experience with the security of specially trained medical and behavioral staff. Families feel at ease knowing that their child will be well cared for at Camp Oz.

The Camp Oz fee ($200) includes regular camp activities, food, housing, and all staff cost. Financial Assistance is available. No camper will be turned away based on their inability to pay the camp fee. For additional information about financial assistance, please call 651-287-2310. Payment plans are also available.
