Ask each family what would help them participate. A household may need several different adaptations, and one person's needs should not erase another's experience.
Provide factual access information about paths, rooms, bathrooms, seating, noise, lighting, meals, and activities. Do not describe a whole site as accessible based only on one ramp.
Offer instructions through speech, demonstration, readable text, and simple visual plans where useful. Avoid making colour the only way to identify a group or location.
Create low-sensory and lower-demand choices with clear supervision. A quiet space should not become a place where families are forgotten or excluded from the program.
Check applicable accessibility duties and relevant exceptions with qualified advice. The U.S. public-business guidance is one starting point, not a universal answer for every camp.1
Budget support and discuss constraints early. Do not promise an accommodation that the venue or team cannot deliver, but do not reject a household without understanding the actual need.
Your task: Map the experience of each member of a sample household, not just the main booking adult.
