Camp TLC helps youth with Spina Bifida build skills, friends, and fun at camp. About 105 campers join us each summer.
Spina Bifida is a neural tube condition present at birth. Camp TLC campers bring diverse abilities and strengths — our program adapts activities so everyone can participate.
For medical details, consult your care team. Camp medical staff review each camper’s health plan before camp.
Camp TLC is a six-day residential camp hosted by Camp John Marc. SBANT partners with Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, Camp John Marc, and community volunteers so campers with Spina Bifida get a true summer camp week.
Campers ages 8–15 join our main camper program. Older youth may qualify for these teen tracks:
Teen tracks use the same application window as other campers. Email directors with questions about eligibility.
