Each camper will be able to connect with others like them while their family and caregivers gain a little respite.

Camp Scholarships:
The Scott Demsey Memorial Camp Scholarship Program
Scott Demsey was a longtime EFCT board member and passionate, influential advocate for people with epilepsy. After his son was diagnosed with epilepsy, he donated his time and energy to educating people about epilepsy and eliminating barriers that might keep people with epilepsy from fully participating in the activities of everyday life. In memory of Scott and his commitment to supporting people with epilepsy, his family has established a scholarship fund to annually sponsor two kids with epilepsy to attend Camp Courage.
