Overnight Sessions / Camp Application / 2023

Since 2002, Camp Get-A-Way has been a place where you and your kids can play, connect, create, and bond in the great outdoors. Try new things like archery, swimming, fishing, and canoeing as a family. Share laughter and s’mores by the campfire. Create memories over tie-dye fun, camp crafts, and games. Find hope through the family resources and training. And start lasting friendships with other New York families facing similar challenges.

We know life often doesn't feel "normal" when you have a child struggling with an emotional, behavioral, or mental heath challenge. That’s why Camp Get-A-Way comes alongside families like yours to create a safe camp experience where families can just be families.

Please be sure to read through the application to be certain you have all the documentation you need. Camp sessions are scheduled on a first come, first served basis. Space is limited. A complete list of eligibility criteria is available by contacting Camp Get-A-Way. Each family member MUST have a medical history form and physical or letter from Doctor office.

- August 20-23, 2023 • Canandaigua, NY
- August 27-30, 2023 • Ithaca, NY
- September 15-17, 2023 • Huguenot, NY
- October 13-15, 2023 • Riverhead, NY
CAMP COSTS:

- $25.00 non-refundable application fee
- Applications and complete payment are due 30 days prior to the start of the session for which you registered.
TRANSPORTATION:
Due to very limited staff availability, every effort should be made by the family and with their service provider to arrange transportation directly to Camp.

DIETARY NEEDS:
Please include special medically prescribed dietary needs with your application materials and notify CGAW at least one week before camp if anyone’s dietary needs have changed. In addition, other dietary accommodations will be considered on a case-by-case basis with advance notice.

Have questions? Visit cgaw.org/faqs or contact us at hello@cgaw.org.

We look forward to seeing you in 2022!

Sincerely,

Ken Tangel, President
