10. What if my child wants to come to camp but he/she has some special needs?
Each summer, we do our best to accommodate all the children who come to FPT Camp but we need your help as parents to let us know the needs that your child may have. Please write a detailed letter about any physical, mental and/or emotional conditions of your child and send it in with your registration form so that we can be prepared to meet their needs in the best way. It would be better if you do not wait until you arrive at camp to let us know about your child’s special needs because at that time we will have already established the cabin/counselor arrangements, menus, schedules, etc and we will be more likely to do better if we are more completely informed in advance. You can email us at fptcamp@gmail.com for more information.
