Summer camps offer unique experiences to all children, such as the opportunity to learn about life, discover something about themselves, develop confidence, create friendships, and have fun through a variety of activities. For youth and teens with epilepsy, the benefits of camps can go beyond the usual childhood activities by helping them grow and develop confidence in their ability to manage their seizures and daily lives.
It’s time to start signing up for summer activities now! Many of the Epilepsy Foundation affiliates offer camp experiences for youth and teens with seizures.
