APPLICATION FOR SBANT FAMILY CAMP WEEKEND
CAMP JOHN MARC - MERIDIAN, TEXAS
NOVEMBER 18-20, 2022
For children with Spina Bifida ages 12 and under - and their immediate families
It is almost time for the SBANT 2022 Family Camp at Camp John Marc! Fall Family Camp is open to SBANT families who have a child with Spina Bifida, age 12 or younger as of 11/18/22. Camp John Marc offers an incredible facility in Meridian, Texas that you can see at www.campjohnmarc.org. This is the same location where Camp TLC is held each June for Spina Bifida campers 9-16 years old. Therefore, Family Camp can also serve as a good introduction to the location for the future Camp TLC camper. Families will enjoy a fun weekend full of activities with other Spina Bifida families. The weekend begins on Friday at 5:00pm and runs through breakfast on Sunday morning. Campers are provided with all meals Friday evening through Sunday morning. Activities include making s'mores around a campfire with camp songs, deer sightings, arts & crafts, fishing, ropes course & zip line, games, party night activities, and of course bonding with your fellow SB families. Each family has their own cabin that has A/C/heat, showers and bathroom. A packing list will be send to all registered families on what to bring for a comfortable weekend.
Camp fee per family is $125 for a Family of 6 Members (Mother /Father / SB child/ 3 siblings). Additional siblings that are minor children in the family cost an additional $40 per person. Additional adults attending cost $85 per person. (A limited number of scholarships are available. Contact Robin regarding scholarships). Applications are due by October 31, 2022. This year we have a limited number of 14 families that can attend, so register quickly. We also need a minimum of 7 families that need to register in order to hold camp this year. Should camp have to be cancelled by SBANT, a full refund will be refunded to all registered families.
All attendees must be vaccinated and a negative Covid test administered by a medical professional must be presented upon check-in at camp for each family member. Families can also choose to be tested upon arriving at camp. Full Camp John Marc vaccination and testing policies are below.
A map to camp will be sent to all registered families. Following the map is better than using google or other maps as they don't work well out at camp. A gate code will also be sent prior to camp along with the map.
