Our mission is to give your kid or children an enjoyable, fulfilling, and therapeutic day camp experience! The program will choose participants based on a number of factors. We want every Camp Forget-Me-Not/Camp Erin DC participant to have the greatest experience possible, therefore before the application process is finished, every registration will be carefully examined and involve an interview. Before being officially accepted to camp, campers' applications will be reviewed to make sure they are suitable for this particular type of camp. On a rolling basis, applications will be accepted; however, as space is limited, apply as soon as possible. All caregivers of campers who have been approved are required to participate in a virtual caregiver training prior to camp. Families with military members are encouraged to apply.
