Guest guest Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Hi Everyone! I just want to share a very special place called Camp Barney Medintz(CBM) It is a traditional camp experience located in the Georgia mountains(Cleveland, GA-about 1.5 hours from Atlanta). During the first session, they offer a 2 or 4 week special needs program. This will be my son's 5th summer. It is for ages 10-21 and it is great for siblings to go as well..(mine does)!!! Your child needs to be physically able and independent enough to be away from home. The staff is phenomenal!!! If you are interested in learning more about Camp Barney Medintz, please feel free to email me LWeinkle@... or contact the Assistant Director- Berger - @.... There is an upcoming "open house" on Thursday November 11th from 7 :00 pm at the Adolph and Rose Levis JCC in Boca Raton. The directors will be in town to do a presentation and show a wonderful slide show about camp. Weinkle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 It does look amazing - however - a bit too expensive for me to take on.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Fabiola- The presentation is only in Boca but certainly worth going to. I have been to the camp on many occasions(its beautiful) and grew up going to the camp right next door (). As far as costs, scholarships etc..you would need to contact Berger. For a sleep away camp -it is on the low side. As far as independence, my son comes back more independent and more enriched every time. What it does for me-is indescribable !!! I know that this is the only place I have been separated from him and he is in the most reliable and loving hands. Amazing staff who love what they do! Fantastic programming and exposure to every imaginable activity!!!! Weinkle Summer Sleep Away Camp Hi Everyone!

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Do they only accept high functioning kids? I have two that are moderate and low functioning.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Sara- I suggest calling Berger at the JCC and ask her. My son has autism and I was concerned his first year as it was new. He did well, meds were managed well, and he had a great time , Weinkle Summer Sleep Away Camp Hi Everyone!
