2025 Quality of Life Family Camp Application Opens to Families
We are excited to announce the application for the 2025 SRNA Annual Quality of Life Family Camp is open. Caring for children impacted by rare neuroimmune disorders and their families remains a top priority for our organization. Our Family Camp provides one of the best opportunities to bring together these families who otherwise live all across the world and rarely encounter another person with the same or a similar condition, let alone someone around their age.
We’ve been running events and camps oriented toward children and families for over two decades, and this next year is our third camp hosted by Morgan’s Camp in San Antonio, Texas. Our 2025 camp will be from Sunday, June 29, 2025, to Thursday, July 3, 2025.
Morgan’s Camp is an amazing facility that had accessibility at the forefront and a priority of the design when it was being built. Our families not only get fully accessible room accommodations, but each cabin has an accessible restroom in every stall. Morgan’s was chosen first and foremost because it makes our campers feel unstoppable while also keeping them safe, and the location is conveniently just outside the San Antonio city limits and within a reasonable distance of the San Antonio airport.
We can safely say, after two amazing years at Morgan’s Camp, that the facility is perfectly designed for the kids of our community. A core tenet of Morgan’s Camp is accessibility, meaning every activity at the camp can be made accessible for anyone—this includes a ropes course, a zipline, a rock climbing wall, and so much more! Through the use of adaptive devices, the camp is able to ensure any camper can participate in a way that works for them. Our kids deserve an amazing summer and the ability to connect with other kids who get it, and we hope that by facilitating these camps, these kids can find genuine connection and great joy. Not only are the connections realized between the kids themselves, but siblings, and parents, too. These disorders impact the family unit and camp offers a unique opportunity for the entire family to connect with those who “get it.”
As for the parents of these children, we at SRNA host an educational program at camp to help keep families informed on the latest research developments and to help answer any questions a parent may have on their child’s rare neuroimmune disorder. To do so, we’ve invited medical professionals and specialists from our community to attend camp and interact in our Q&A sessions. The Q&A sessions are for the parents and any of the children, teens, or young adults who attend camp and are interested in connecting with the experts in rare neuroimmune disorders. We also bring in camp volunteers from our community who themselves have lived with a rare neuroimmune disorder diagnosis since childhood (even former campers!) or have also been diagnosed in adulthood.
Due in great part because of our amazing sponsors and donations from the community, there is no cost for families to attend camp other than a family’s cost to travel to and from the camp facility. During camp, SRNA provides lodging and all meals on-site and in partnership with Morgan’s Camp.
If you have a child diagnosed with a rare neuroimmune disorder who is between 0 and 20 years old, we invite you to apply here. If interested, please begin the application as soon as possible, as we have limited spots available and there are a few forms camper families must fill out before being accepted. Applications will be reviewed and accepted on a rolling basis and are first come first served.
If you have any questions, are uncertain about your eligibility, or want additional information about our camp, please email Rebecca Whitney, Associate Director, Programs and Community Support, at [email protected] or call or text her at +1 (513) 449-0495.
