Vaccination
PALS requires all participants to be up to date on all vaccinations, per CDC recommendations. PALS Staff will specifically ensure that every participant has an updated Tdap vaccine, required every 10 years, from the program start date and at least one dose of the Meningococcal/Meningitis vaccine for anyone under the age of 21. Verified medical exemptions will be considered.
Please note that these policies may be updated at any time.

The cost of a full week of camp for participants with Down syndrome is $2,300.
PALS recognizes that the cost of camp may not be accessible for every family. We also recognize that our community achieves its mission of inclusion and belonging only when we are able to engage with as many unique participants as possible. With this in mind, we are committed to ensuring that cost is never a barrier to joining the PALS community. We work with every participant to identify the appropriate support - waiver funding, payment plans, partial and full scholarships.
Please contact support@palsprograms.org for more details on any of these options.
