The staff for Camp Star is comprised of dedicated
teachers and college students with backgrounds in various fields such as
special education, art, social work, education and psychology.
New camper applicants
are interviewed before admission to determine whether we can adequately
meet the needs of the child.
The Camp Star program
and camper scholarships are made possible through the generous support
from the United Way of Westfield, foundations, local civic organizations,
schools, the Division of Developmental Disabilities, private donations
and fees paid by the families.
Applications for financial assistance are available and will be
considered on a case by case basis with proof of income.
