Registration, Eligibility & Cancellation Policies
REGISTRATION: Acceptance to each Family Weekend is not automatic, and you may be added to a waiting list due to volume of registrations and needs. Leadership will make final decisions on Family Weekend attendance based on urgency of need, previous attendance, meeting essential eligibility requirements and balance of disAbilities of current registrants. You will be contacted via email to confirm acceptance of registration two weeks prior to that Family Weekend. If you are not accepted, your registration payment may be fully refunded, donated, or put toward a future camp session. ELIGIBILITY: The Full Life Ahead Foundation seeks to serve all qualified individuals with disAbilities and their families who meet the essential eligibility requirements for our Family Weekend Workshop Retreats enumerated below. These criteria are necessary to ensure not only the safety of participating campers but also their ability to receive the maximum educational benefits of the particular camp for which they have applied. Camps are organized around a family setting and a generalized age group setting. The Full Life Ahead Foundation seeks to serve eligible campers in the most integrated setting possible. All acceptances of applications are conditional. Specifically, The Full Life Ahead Foundation reserves the right to accept or deny applications or defer admission on site or prior to attendance should it later become aware that the initial application was flawed or any camper’s health has severely declined or upon demonstration that any camper does not meet the applicable eligibility criteria. All deferrals or revocation of admission must be approved by the Camp Director and the Executive Director. AN ELIGIBLE APPLICANT MUST MEET THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA: 1. Be of appropriate age. This is a family camp. The age requirement is that the individual with a disAbility must be 13 years of age or older. Siblings must be aged 5 and older; 2. The family must have a child who has a physical or mental disAbility who is 13 years old or older; 3. All family members should attend the Family Weekend to which they have applied. Please contact the Executive Director at 205-439-6534 if this is not possible and in some circumstances exception to this requirement may be made. 4. All registered family members must attend all camp sessions throughout the weekend. If an emergency arises and one or more family members must leave early, you must first speak with the Executive or Camp Director for approval. If a family leaves prematurely without approval they will be banned from future family weekends. 5. All family members must not be abusive towards themselves or others, i.e. does not physically, verbally, or sexually abuse self or others, which abuse may include hitting, biting, pushing, scratching, spitting, kicking, excessive swearing, excessive or inappropriate yelling or verbal degradation, inappropriate touching or fondling or other inappropriate behavior; 6. All family members must not pose a direct threat to themselves or others that cannot be eliminated or reduced below the level of a direct threat with or without reasonable accommodation. Direct threat is defined as a substantial risk of harm to the camper or others; direct threat may include having a highly contagious condition such as tuberculosis, hepatitis, an open or draining wound or rash, topical parasites, etc. or other conditions that may be spread through casual human contact; 7. All family members must be in acceptable health as indicated by not having a temperature greater than 98.6 orally. CANCELLATION: It is very important to the Full Life Ahead Foundation that every family who wants and needs to attend a Family Weekend be given every opportunity to do so. There is nothing worse than having an empty cabin at camp... When families cancel it creates the possibility of having an empty cabin that represents a family who could have come to experience camp and all of the knowledge, connections and HOPE that comes with it. Because of this, the following fees will apply to cancellations: - Cancellations made 14 days or more in advance of the event date will incur a 30% fee. - Cancellations made within 3 - 13 days will incur a 50% fee. - Cancellations made within 48 hours to the event will incur a 100% fee. If you feel that there are extinuating circumstances beyond your control that make it impossible to attend, please contact us at 205-439-6534 to discuss your situation. It is important that you confirm that you are able to get off of work to attend a Family Weekend before registering. Please contact Full Life Ahead Foundation if you have any questions.
