CUSR Summer Camp 2025

  Informations importantes

Welcome to Champaign Urbana Special Recreation Summer Camp! 

Important information to note: 

Deposits and Installments:

All camp activities listed will require a $10 deposit for each week. If you choose installment plans, final payments for each week will be due two weeks prior to the first day of camp.

CUSR Summer Camp Handbook:

CUSR asks that all campers have a handbook on file for staff to reference during the program. The handbook includes important information needed for CUSR to best support the individual while at camp as well as waivers and releases needed to participate in various activities. Participants cannot attend camp without a handbook on file at CUSR. Summer Camp Handbooks can be found on the CUSR website here: CUSR Summer Camp Parent Handbook. Handbooks can be sent electronically or mailed to participants by contacting the CUSR Center at 217-819-3980.

Waitlist: 
If the program is full, additional registrations will go on a waitlist. If a space opens up in the program, participants 
on the waitlist will be contacted to see if they still want to attend the program. Generally, participants are taken off 
the waitlist and added to the program based on the order of waitlist registration.

Summer Youth Program Cancellation/Refund Policy: 

Refunds of fees paid minus the required deposits (per child, per session) will only be given seven (7) days before the start of the session unless otherwise noted. 

Scholarships:

Summer Camp Scholarships are also available for the camps listed. If you are interested in applying for a 2025 Camp Scholarship, visit:CUSR Summer Camp Scholarship 2025 | Activities | Champaign Park District Store

What is Champaign Urbana Special Recreation?

CUSR is an intergovernmental cooperative made up of the Champaign and Urbana Park Districts, founded in 1985. CUSR provides year-round leisure and recreation opportunities for children and adults with disabilities.

Payment:

Full payment must be received upon registration unless specific arrangements have been made with the CUSR office. Registrations will not be processed if a fee balance remains from a previous season. Registrations are accepted online, in person at the CUSR Center, or through mail. Coordinators and program leaders MAY NOT receive payment or registration forms at programs. CUSR does not prorate for late registration. Exceptions may be made for people who are new to the community.

Participant Expectations:

1. Participants need to wear appropriate attire for program participation (i.e., for athletic/fitness programs, comfortable clothing and tennis shoes must be worn). If you have questions about the type of attire participants should wear for a particular program, please contact our office.

2. Participants need to have clean, dry clothing.

3. No bowel/bladder problems upon arrival at the transportation location or program. (If this is a concern, extra clean clothing, clean-up supplies and Depend garments (or similar items) must be sent with the participant).

4. Participants need to pay attention to body odor and overall appearance (clean hair, face, teeth, hands, etc.). CUSR staff will also be consistent in stressing personal hygiene while participants are in our programs and will not return participants at the end of a program in an unclean manner.

Behavior Code:

CUSR promotes the concept of “Equal Fun For Every[1]one” and strives to accomplish this belief through our program goals. However, certain rules are necessary to ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment. CUSR participants are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times. The CUSR behavior code states that participants shall show respect to all participants and staff, refrain from using foul language, refrain from causing bodily harm, and show respect to equipment, supplies, and facilities. Additional policies may be developed for specific programs and camps.

Atlanto-Axial Subluxation:

Individuals with Down syndrome are at risk of having a condition known as Atlanto-Axial Subluxation. CUSR must have a doctor’s written note on file stating a participant is free of the instability if he/she wishes to participate in programs that may cause undue stress upon the neck. Please take this into consideration when registering and inform staff if the condition is present.
