No. Parents and family members are welcome to stay in the area if they so choose, but the camp week is reserved only for campers.

Before campers leave home, they will receive a text message from Jessica, our airport staff. This text message will also include a photo of Jessica, and instructions to stay at the gate upon arrival. Jessica will meet each camper at their gate, and assist them in getting to the baggage claim, where other Oscar personnel will be waiting to help collect luggage and get campers to the camp shuttle.
Similarly, on departure day, Oscar personnel will escort each camper to their gate, and wait with them until they are on the plane and the plane has pushed from the gate. -
Our camp activities are divided into three categories:
- Adventure Activities (indoor rock climbing, kayaking, etc)
- Education Activities (MS discussions, disability awareness, etc)

Each day has at least one activity from each category! -
We stay at the University of Wisconsin, River Falls. Our camp uses one of the “learning community” accommodations called a “pod.” Each “pod” is a locked space, which contains 10 double-occupancy rooms, bathrooms, a kitchen, and living room space. This IS an air-conditioned facility!
