SPECIAL NEEDS CAMPERS: Camp Koronis participates in Camps Without Barriers and seeks to be open and accommodating regardless of a camper's abilities. Camp Koronis employs a special Integration Specialist counselor to provide the extra support needed for campers with special needs. This comes at no extra cost to the camper. Or, if your child/youth has an assistant at school to help read, write and communicate, they can still go to a camp of their choosing, again at no extra cost, because we train and support our summer staff so they can learn how/why to integrate everyone into the camping program.
