HOW IT WORKS

Qualifications

Two Camps Rest is set up for families who provide consistent, full-time care for one or more family members with medical needs. Some examples of this are a special needs child or sibling, an aging adult, or a wounded warrior. We call these families “Caregiving Families.”

Two Camps Rest is designed to give these care-giving families a time of respite and enjoyment together. We are specifically geared towards those families who are unable to financially afford an entire trip. So our part is we offer 1st class accommodations for the family to enjoy.

IMPORTANT NOTE – Two Camps Rest is only able to provide the room. Transportation, food, entertainment, and park tickets are not paid for by Two Camps Rest.

Timing

  • A minimum of two times a year, Two Camps Rest will open up for families who are interested in a respite vacation. A link with the Initial Interest Form will be available for prospective partners to give a brief summary of their situation and the needs they are meeting.
  • Upon submission an email will be sent within a week acknowledging the receipt of the completed Initial Interest Form.
  • The forms will be reviewed by the selection committee and the families that fit best with what is available will be notified within 2-3 weeks.
  • Those families will then be asked to fill out a Formal Application. This application will give the committee a more in depth look at the day to day lives of those applicants and their families.
  • The Formal Applications will be reviewed by the selection committee and the families chosen for a respite vacation will be notified within another 2-3 weeks.
  • If you are not selected you are welcome to reapply anytime new respite opportunities become available. Please sign up HERE to receive our newsletters and updates. This is the best way to be notified that new opportunities are available.

The Vetting Process

A committee of four people will review during each part of the application process (Initial Interest Form and the Formal Application). If there are any questions we will reach out to the applicant. The committee will choose based on recognized need and availability.
