Apply — Camp Mak-A-Dream

2023 season is coming! Check out our 2023 Program Calendar HERE for camp dates. Summer Staff Applications are now open! Learn more here or follow the link at the bottom of the page to apply.

Please know that the health and safety of our community continues to be our top priority. Although it is impossible to reliably predict conditions and recommendations regarding COVID-19 and other infectious diseases for our 2023 season, we anticipate that as CDC guidelines have softened over the past several months that many of the steps within Camp’s procedures , including testing, masking, and cohorting, may be softened or even lifted for 2023. We thank you for being thoughtful about whether applying to attend is the best choice for you at this time.
