We are pleased to offer Family Weekends onsite in Lake Hughes. Eligibility for this program is limited and we encourage caregivers to carefully consider how you share this opportunity with your children.

Volunteers are strongly encouraged to apply 3-4 weeks prior to this event as the application and paperwork process can take several weeks to complete.

• Ataxia
• Spina Bifida
• Paraplegia/Hemiplegia: includes children with spinal cord injury resulting in paraplegia

Online Application

Applications are filled out online, but some forms require that others fill them out. We’ve provided them on the right hand side, along with a Camper Application Checklist to help make the process easier. 

Need Transportation Assistance?

If the cost of getting to and from a camp session is a barrier to you, please complete this form and your application in their entirety at least 5 weeks prior to the session. Someone from The Painted Turtle will follow up with you upon completion of both of those items.
