Camper Application Test Page

Note: Our goal is to provide as many individuals as possible the opportunity to attend a camp session. Space is limited but we will make every effort to fulfill your request for multiple sessions.

Registration Deposits: 

A $50.00 non-refundable deposit is required of private-pay campers for each session requested. The deposit is not required of campers using DSHS/DDA funding.  Campers using DSHS/DDA funding must have respite hours and payment pre-approved by their Case Manager before we will hold session dates.  We will submit a pre-authorization request to DSHS/DDA but it is the Parent/Guardian’s responsibility to follow-up and ensure we receive it within 14 business days of the request.

We periodically have volunteer groups bring horses for riding, therapy animals or "guests' from a petting zoo. Please let us know:

These are general medical questions, a Health Examination Form will be provided for your camper's Doctor or Nurse Practitioner to complete.

Effective January 2024, Camp Horizon requests all medications are pre-packaged in Bubble Packs or Simple Dose Packs if your pharmacy provides this service.

If your pharmacy does not provide this service, please ensure all medications are in the original pharmacy bottle. This must include the campers name, medication name and dosage instructions. Over the counter medications, supplements, ointments, etc., must be listed on the Health Exam Form completed by a physician. All medications and dosages must match the Health Exam Form.

Our kitchen staff must accommodate a wide range of medically required dietary restrictions and food allergies. We must distinguish between essential dietary restrictions and personal preference. We cannot accommodate personal preference. Please only list restrictions that are medically diagnosed/prescribed and not personal preference. The Health Exam Form must list these restrictions and/or allergies. We offer a variety of options at each meal for those with a limited selection of foods they will eat.

Please reach out to acd@lionscamphorizon.org with additional questions or concerns regarding dietary needs.

NOTE: We may not be able to accommodate severe
allergies or some dietary restrictions. These will be addressed on a case-by-case basis to
ensure the health and safety of your camper.
