Keep your child moving, exploring, and learning this summer!

Our camps rely on the consistent attendance of all camp members to have a fun and engaging experience together. But we know children sometimes get sick. Due to the short duration of this camp, reimbursement for absences is not possible. Late pick-ups in excess of 5 minutes after group ending time will be charged $2/minute.

Children who attend our enrichment camps are participating in a medium-sized group setting. We use positive discipline and natural consequences, as well as offering sensory strategies when helping children learn to regulate their behaviors. For all children in the group to receive benefit, we require children in our groups to maintain behaviors that do not significantly detract from the experience of other children in the group. Children who attend our camps must be able to stay with the group, follow directions (most of the time!), and have basic safety awareness in nature settings with an adult nearby but NOT always within arm’s reach. Our enrichment groups have an approximately one (1) adult to four (4) children ratio. We are not staffed to provide one-on-one support for children who require the full attention of a staff member. If a child exhibits disruptive behaviors that impact the participation of the other children in the group, we will discuss the child’s behavior with their parent/guardian to determine if a group model is right for the child at this time. After attempting to modify and support a child's behavioral needs in the group, and after deciding that our groups are not a good fit for the child, refunds will not be given.

I certify that I have notified staff of Forestways OT, LLC (Forestways) of any and all medical conditions my minor child has of which Forestways should be aware in case of emergency. If I cannot be reached in case of emergency, I give permission for Forestways staff certified in CPR and first aid to provide treatment deemed medically necessary for my child.  In case of emergency, I further give permission for Forestways staff to arrange necessary emergency transportation for my child.
