Camp APAC
Alabama Pre/Post Adoption Connections (APAC), a collaborative program of CAS and Alabama DHR, would like to invite your family to be a part of our annual Camp APAC.
This wonderful camp experience is for adopted children ages 12 to 18, along with their siblings (birth and foster siblings living in the same household) who are connected to DHR (i.e. at least one camp applicant must be adopted from foster care). Children in the permanent custody of DHR with a plan of adoption by their current placement are also eligible to attend. Camp APAC is FREE to DHR-connected adoptive families, limited slots will also be available for non-DHR-connected families at a cost of $175 for these 4 great days of fun!
Camp APAC staff includes social workers and other trained and qualified adults to work with and supervise your child around the clock. Licensed nurses are also on duty to administer medications and provide for any medical needs that may arise.

Camper Acceptance
Camp APAC camper acceptance is prioritized by several factors. They include consideration of camp budget constraints and a balanced population; ratio of age, gender, county of residence, type of adoption (public/private) and racial diversity. Camp APAC is designed for all children, regardless of special needs. Children with physical, mental or developmental difficulties are encouraged to apply; however, consideration for acceptance is weighed based on staffing patterns and needs when one-on-one or special-care attention is required.
