We have created the Seizure Smart Camps program, which will give youth with epilepsy and seizures opportunities for in-person camp programs where camp counselors and staff are trained to recognize and respond to seizures.
Don’t see the summer camp or program that you are signed up for on this list? Contact Erik Williams at ewilliams@efmn.org to try and set up a Seizure Smart Camp training for their staff!
At least 75% of camp staff will be trained by the start of summer

– ACA Accredited
– Overnight Camp open to those entering 2nd-12th grades
– All camp staff have Basic First Aid and CPR training.
– A dedicated Waterfront Director manages safety and lifeguard rotations at the river waterfront. On the first day of each session, each camper takes the swim test in order to determine their swimming level. This indicates if they are allowed to swim, where they can swim, and when they must wear a PFD. During swimming activity, campers are paired with a buddy, and buddy checks occur every 5 minutes.
