Located in East Bradford Township, we are fortunate to have 600 acres of scenic natural resources to enjoy and explore. Using our unique surroundings, we encourage children to open their eyes to the wonders of the outdoors and the possibilities of their own potential. From our five year-olds, all the way up to our teens, every camper receives

a positive outdoor experience.

All day long, your child will be trekking through a day filled with fun and engaging activities. Learning to fish, paddling a canoe, shooting a bow and arrow, mastering a swim stroke and scaling a rock wall are some of the

valuable lessons your child may receive from us.

Our staff members are a caring, diverse and professional team of individuals. They are trained to teach, guide and participate with the children in all of the activities. Our programs are designed to maintain at least a 1:6 counselor/camper ratio at all times. As youth development professionals, our staff understand their roles as models and mentors to your children.

Our top priority is the health, safety and well-being of your children.

“We encourage children to open their eyes to the wonders of the outdoors

and the possibilities of their own potential”

“Our daughter has been going since she was 5 or 6. The leadership skills she is showing outside of the camp because of this program are astounding. I hear endless stories of her positive experiences with her friends and counselors. She has referred

to this camp as like family many times. Thank you for giving her a second family.” - Parents of a Teen Camper

“Our family is beyond thrilled with PFC. I have never seen my daughter so happy as I did this past summer. She rushed me out the door every morning to get to camp early.

The selection of counselors is top notch and impacts everything.” - Mother of a Junior Camper

“Because it is the greatest camp. I am confident that my children are getting intentional programming with excellent staff and leadership.”

This medical Release states the risks of illness, injury, harm, and medical procedures at CCWA-PARADISE FARm CAmPS. It has important legal consequences. You should decide to send your child to camp only after you have read and understood the medical Release Statement and decided that you wish you and your child to be bound by its terms. For your convenience, you (or each of you) is referred to in the Agreement as “I” and your child is referred to as “my camper” and the Children’s Country Week Association and all of its officers, directors, employees and agents are referred to together as the “Association.”

I am the parent or legal guardian of ______________________________________ (Camper’s Name). I understand that camping has many risks. It involves such things as vigorous physical activity, the close gathering of large groups of people, communal living arrangements, and a rural outdoor setting. Participation in camp activities may entail exposure to serious risks posed by the natural and/or outdoor environment, such as tick borne diseases including Lyme Disease and Rocky mountain Spotted Fever, Poison Ivy, etc. If my camper becomes ill or is injured while at camp; I understand that my camper will first be evaluated by the Camp health Service Provider or a Physician selected by the Association, and I authorize him or her to make all inquires, examinations and tests he or she deems necessary or appropriate. If he or she determines that it is appropriate to administer treatment at the Camp, I authorize that treatment. I release the Association from all liability which may result from the evaluation and treatment of my camper by the Camp Health Service Provider or that Physician. If the Camp Health Service Provider or that Physician determines that other treatment is necessary or appropriate, I want the Association to try to reach me or those emergency contacts designated in the registration form in the order listed. If reached, I will tell you whether and by whom I wish my camper to be treated. In an emergency, or if I cannot be reached in a timely fashion, I authorize the Association to deliver my camper to a Health Care Provider selected by the Association, for such treatment as that Provider considers appropriate. I agree that the Association shall not be responsible for what happens after my camper has been returned to me or delivered to a Health Care Provider so chosen by me or the Association, and I release it from all liability therefore. I agree that I am responsible for the cost of any outside health care provided and the cost of transporting my camper.

The undersigned agrees to be bound by and to have the undersigned’s camper be bound by this agreement.
