Registration
and fee information
Day Trips
Day
trips have become a popular option for some of the weekends.
Depending on the group, day trip activities may be scheduled without
additional cost. If additional money is needed, you will be notified
in advance. Groups have gone out for pizza, to a college football
game, bowling, out to dinner, and to an ice show. Other options may
include: A Saturday matinee, a visit to a museum, roller skating, ice
skating and more...
Fees
- A $150 registration fee is requested and will be applied to the total cost of the weekend.
- The cost for the weekend is based on the level of supervision and care needed, living situation, and eligibility for county contract respite funding for the individual. Please contact our office with any questions.
- All fees paid in advance will be refunded in full if notice is received in our office 30 days prior to the applicant's session. If less than 30 days notice is received, all but the registration fee will be refunded.
- Fees can be pro-rated if the person will not be attending the entire weekend. Please indicate the length of stay on the application form or by contacting the office directly.
- Note to parents: If your child is eligible to receive county funds for respite care or foster care, please contact your social service agency, as these funds may be applied toward the respite weekend fees.
How to Register
- Registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
- To ensure a quality experience, only a limited number of people who have behavioral considerations, or require a great deal of personal or medical care will be accepted.
- If your application is accepted, a confirmation packet will be sent to you. Enclosed in the packet will be a letter confirming respite weekends and dates; information concerning check-in and check-out procedures and times; clothing lists; map with directions; a physical examination form; and a physician's standing order form.
- A physical examination form is required for all respite participants no more than 24 months prior to attendance.
