An epilepsy camp is specifically designed for children with seizure disorders. Medical concerns are of utmost priority in such a camp, and a medical expert is on call round-the-clock. Epilepsy camps are organized to boost the children's self esteem and confidence level, to help them achieve their full potential. The approach is to offering children with epilepsy what other kids enjoy and look forward to in summer – the outdoor experience, campfires and social activities. The activities arranged for the participants in an epilepsy summer camp are geared towards helping them not only in coping with their seizure problems, but in establishing a sense of belonging, accomplishment and growth. Various activities like wildlife exploration, arts and crafts, sports and entertainment allow them to establish friendships, and to gain new learning experiences in a safe and medically-supervised setting.

Supervision: In some epilepsy camps, it is expected that all participants can take care of their individual personal hygiene routines, like taking trips to the bathroom alone or with minimal supervision.

Medical considerations: Although the organizers make it a point to have a capable team of medical experts and health care professionals around, some camps would only allow those whose seizures are well-controlled with medication, so you may want to ask about that first.
