Vaccination
PALS Programs recommends that all participants stay up to date on vaccinations, following CDC guidance. PALS Staff will specifically verify that every participant has a current Tdap vaccine (required every 10 years) as of the program start date, as well as at least one dose of the Meningococcal/Meningitis vaccine for anyone under the age of 21. Verified medical exemptions will be considered.

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.
