Registration Information

How to Register:
1-2-3 steps to register:Register easily online and complete steps 1-2-3 in minutes, or mail in the 1) cream registration form, 2) yellow skills check sheet, and 3) non-refundable, non-transferable deposit. Registration in your desired program will not be accepted without all of these steps completed.

*Please note: if you are utilizing the Autism Waiver or getting full funding through a service organization, you must submit the paper registration information, along with a Plan of Care or letter of intent. Once your registration is received, a confirmation letter will be mailed to confirm

4-5-6-7 steps to attendance: When you receive your confirmation letter, please be sure to complete the 4) green medical form, 5) pink medication form, and 6) purple horseback riding form and submit them to The League no later than May 15. Please read all forms carefully and do not leave any spaces blank. Make sure there are signatures where required. Please submit 7) final payment to The League no later than May 15.

Payments: A deposit must be made prior to any camper being accepted to a camping program. The deposit is $200 for each camp program (Traditional, League Pioneers, or Day camp), and $400 per Travel Camp program. Deposits may come in the following forms:

• Check or money order
• Credit Card (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express)
• A copy of the Plan of Care from your Autism Waiver Coordinator. This must have enough respite hours allocated to The League to cover your sessions.
• A letter of intent from a service organization. The League cannot submit an invoice to the agency without a letter of intent.

No spots will be held without both the registration information and the necessary deposit for each program registered for. When registering online, please be prepared to pay the deposit via electronic check or credit card. Please do NOT register online when getting full funding via other sources.

Mail your final payments to The League no later than May 15. If your final payment or letter of intent is not received by The League before that time, you run the risk of losing your spot in that program.

All deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Outside Funding Policy (Autism Waiver/Service Agency):
Service Agency: Camping & Therapeutic Recreation makes every effort to collect money committed by service agencies for your camping programs.  Should an agency deny funding for any reason, regardless if Camp has an intent letter from them, the family is responsible for payment of that balance. 

Autism Waiver: It is the responsibility of the participant to notify the Autism Waiver Coordinator to have the Plan of Care amended should more hours need to be transferred to The League.  If Camping & Therapeutic Recreation does not have an updated Plan of Care prior to your camping session, you are at risk of being denied services until that Plan of Care is received.  

Hours billed to Medicaid are split among days that the participant is at camp.  If for any reason you are not at camp on certain days, Camping & Therapeutic Recreation will still bill the full amount of hours for the camp session, but hours will be reconfigured and billed only on days the participant attended camp.  

Please note: Withdrawal from a camp program with more than (7) days notice requires the $200 non-refundable deposit to be paid.  Withdrawal from a camp program with less than (7) days notice will require payment in full.  The Autism Waiver will NOT pay this fee if services are not provided, so the family/caregiver is responsible for final payment. Exceptions to this rule may be made at the discretion of the Director with documented proof of medical emergency. 

Eligibility Policy:The League Camping & Therapeutic Recreation programs are designed for children and adults who have physical, cognitive, emotional or multiple disabilities and their families.  For camp programs, including Day Camp, all participants must be able to be successful in a 2:1 camper to counselor ratio.  If 1:1 services are required at all times, an additional 1:1 fee will be applied to the camp tuition.  There are limited spaces for 1:1 assistance.  League Pioneers and Travel Camp participants must be able to work in a 3:1 camper to counselor ratio.

Camping & Therapeutic Recreation does not provide awake overnight staffing.  Please be aware that if a participant does not sleep for (2) two consecutive nights and/or is disruptive or at risk of elopement, the participant may be sent home at the discretion of the director, due to safety and health concerns of both campers and staff.

The League Camping & Therapeutic Recreation is not able to accept campers who require intensive 24 hour medical care or who require medical procedures not easily managed in a camp environment (i.e. oxygen, colostomy bags, etc.).  We are also unable to accept participants who have or need an active restraint program, who are at a high elopement risk, or who are otherwise unable to tolerate social settings.  Other medical or behavioral needs may be assessed by the director as the need arises. 

If a participant displays behavioral concerns, a 1:1 will be added in an attempt to prevent and/or redirect behaviors, provided camp has the availability and at the consent of the parent/caregiver.  This is at an additional fee and will be added to the account.  If behaviors change for the better in future sessions, a participant may be re-evaluated and may not require the added 1:1.  Please note:  If the participant requires a 1:1, they are not able to attend sessions 3 or 4, as these sessions allow for a large amount of unstructured time.  There are structured sessions available for adult campers to attend.

Camping & Therapeutic Recreation reserves the right to determine sending a participant home, at the participant’s expense, if a participant exhibits inappropriate behavior, is sick for more than 24 hours, or is not having a successful recreational experience.  This includes, but is not limited to, participants who display aggressive behaviors, causing harm to either themselves or others, that is unable to be redirected.  Sending a participant home is done at the discretion of the Director.  In these cases, the participant’s fee will not be returned. 

Participants traveling with The League's Travel Camp program need to be successful with a 3:1 traveler to counselor ratio. We are unable to provide services to travelers with dangerous or aggressive behaviors. The League's Travel Camp program is not able to accommodate people with complex medical needs (such as feeding tubes, assistive breathing devices, etc) or needs that a Registered Nurse cannot delegate to a Certified Medication Technician (e.g. sliding scale insulin, suprapubic catheter, etc). Participants requiring assistance with transfers must be able to transfer with a standing pivot OR must be able to be lifted comfortably by no more than two staff members. All potential travel participants will be carefully evaluated to determine if The League can provide the care required for safe participation in our programs.

If you are a new participant to a program, an administrator will review your application and arrange an interview with the primary caregiver prior to your camp session.  This interview is required.  We ask that you be completely honest in filling out the Skills Check Sheet, as well as during the interview, as this allows our staff to be better prepared to work with your camper.

Cancellation / Refund Policy:
Summer Camp Programs: Campers who are unable to attend their scheduled camp program will receive a refund for tuition paid minus the deposit if notification is made with more than one week’s notice.  If a cancellation is made with less than 7 days notice, no refund of tuition payments will be made.  If the camper utilizes the Autism Waiver for payments, the appropriate cancellation fee will be billed to the family. The Autism Waiver will NOT pay the cancellation fee if services are not provided, therefore the family/caregiver is responsible for final payment. Exceptions to this rule may be made at the discretion of the Director with documented proof of medical emergency. 

Camping & Therapeutic Recreation reserves the right to determine sending a participant home, at the participant’s expense, if a participant exhibits inappropriate behavior, is sick for more than 24 hours, or is not having a successful recreational experience.  This is done at the discretion of the Director.  In these cases, the participant’s fee will not be returned.

Summer Travel Programs:Changes or cancellations made at least 7 days prior to trip departure will receive a refund for tuition paid minus the deposit and any pre-purchased portion on the vacation package. If a cancellation is made with less than 7 days notice, no refund of tuition payments will be made.  Exceptions to this rule may be made at the discretion of the Director with documented proof of medical emergency.  For reasons of safety, travelers may lose their space on the trip if necessary paperwork, including all medical forms, is not received by the due date.  Change/cancellation penalties may apply. Travelers may be refused on the trip if he/she shows up in ill health or without all medication and dosage for the trip plus one day.

Camping & Therapeutic Recreation reserves the right to determine sending a participant home, at the participant’s expense, if a participant exhibits inappropriate behavior, is sick for more than 24 hours, or is not having a successful recreational experience.  This is done at the discretion of the Director.  In these cases, the participant’s fee will not be returned. 

Health Services: For programs occurring at Camp Greentop’s main facility, a Registered Nurse is on site at all times. For League Pioneers and Travel Camp, the program Coordinator has certifications in CPR, First Aid, and Medication Administration, which our RN is on-call at all times.  A physician is on-call throughout the entire summer season for all programs.

Emergency care will be provided as needed.  In the case of illness, participants will need to be picked up by a parent/caregiver or designated emergency contact to be taken to be evaluated. 

A participant’s temperature is required upon check-in for the program.  If a participant displays a temperature of 99.5* or more, they will need to go home until they are fever-free for a minimum of 24 hours with no fever-reducing medication.  If a participant exhibits multiple symptoms (i.e. vomiting, diarrhea, fever) or if symptoms are reoccurring, the participant will need to be picked up from their program until they are symptom free for a minimum of 48 hours, without the use of medication. 

Please call the Director at 410.323.0500 x366 if there are any questions about a participant’s specific medical needs.
