Respite Activities
Friends of Wellspring Camp,
This spring, we have planned some activities for our friends to enjoy. These activities are designed to give families a time of respite and relaxation while we enjoy our time with our campers. Please keep in mind that we are not trying to make a profit from these activities. However, to cover the costs for our GREAT volunteers, you may notice that the cost for each activity includes a portion of a volunteer’s cost as well.
The activities are on a first come basis, with all applications and payments due one week prior to the activity. If your camper is a returning camper, we will use their camp application information from last summer, with any changes that you may need to make. If your camper is new to Wellspring, please know that a medical history / information sheet will need to be completed at drop-off for the activity. (You can print the summer 2009 form from our website and use it) Please be sure to sign up as soon as possible using the form below to get the available spots. We will have a waiting list for each activity after they fill up.
Feel free to contact us with any questions. We look forward to seeing many of you this spring!
