In 2026, we are offering seven weekend camps for youth (ages 8-22) and eight weekend camps for adults (ages 23 and up) with developmental and/or physical disabilities. Recreation Unlimited is a smoke free campus.

Respite Weekend Camps provide a full schedule of activities, lodging, meals and snacks, counselors, program leaders, on-site nursing and a great environment for indoor and outdoor fun! Examples of program activities include swimming, fishing, canoeing, climbing, sports, archery, creekin’, nature exploration, arts and crafts, cooking, theater, campfire, dancing and more!  A fully equipped Health Services Center and Nurses Quarters with a team of nurses that administer all camper medications and medical treatments are provided. All meals and snacks are provided with healthy choices available. Special diets can be accommodated. Items such as Recreation Unlimited sweatshirts and t-shirts are available at the camp store for purchase that enables the campers to go home with a souvenir from camp.

Respite Weekend Camps are Friday through Sunday. Camper arrival time is Friday from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Camper departure time is Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. All campers must be picked up by 11:00 a.m.

Fees and Funding

Based on the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities reimbursement schedule for Medicaid Waivers, the Respite Weekend Camp published fee is currently $560 per weekend camp, plus if the registration and application is completed online, a one-time, annual registration fee of $35 will be required. If you prefer to fill out and mail in a paper registration and application, a one-time, annual registration fee of $45 will be required. 

Recreation Unlimited is an Individual Options Waiver, SELF Waiver, and Level One Waiver (see new billing information for Individual Options, SELF and Level One Waivers in the left-hand column for the Year-Round Respite Weekend Camp) provider.  Please inform your service coordinator of the dates that you have registered for camp and submit a request for service prior to coming to camp so that camp fees will become part of your service plan. You will be responsible for payment of any camp that is not included on your service plan. 

Registration

Acceptance to camp is based on review and approval of the camper application, physical form completed and signed by your physician, and camp capacities.  Individual Options Waiver, Level One Waiver, SELF Waiver, and Family Resources money cannot be used to pay the one-time, annual registration fee of $35/$45.
