I was hoping for summer, if we are flying that far we'd like to make it a big trip and go see other things in whatever area you choose. A lot of people might have trouble making a big trip in the school year....
We would be coming from Washington, we loved the last camp!

The reason they do it in October is hat it will be the long weekend for Columbus Day. It used to be held during Labour Day weekend, which was better for me as well as I don't get time off for Columbus day being that I am in Canada, LOL.

I flew clear across the country for the WA camp (7+ hrs on 2 planes) and felt it was worth it all the same. I think b/c it is only held every 2 years (3 in this case) and it is so rare that we get to meet anyone else with a BPI it is worth making the trip if you can swing it.

I may add that all the school children have had an assignment for school/class credit subject depends on the Camp's location. Most Eastern schools are in session by Labor Day. The other reason for the later October Date is probably for a better $$ rate for the facility, because each family must have private quarters with BR. Our Camp attendance is growing, that's good, so a large facility is needed.It is worth everything it takes to get there for all family members. It's lifechanging
for BPI children and parents as well as all adults with OBPI's who never met another person with these injuries before.

Hi,

i'm very seriously considering coming along to camp 2010. Has there been any further arrangments made on this?

I'l b travelling from scotland so i'm just looking for a rough idea of time of year (so i can check flight prices) and approximate cost of camp and how long it will last for? Also if there is any confirmation on the area it will be held in?

I'l probably make this into my summer holiday for next year so just looking into whether it is realistic in terms of cost etc...i really hope it is :D

Hopefully someone can give me some info
