Camp Summer Tribe is a seven-day residential camp for children with cerebral palsy and other similar conditions. Held in Fontainebleau State Park in Mandeville, this camp annually serves about fifty Louisiana campers, ages six to twenty years old. The camp provides the campers a traditional summer camp experience and the parents of these campers a chance for a much needed vacation or time for the other children in the family. Application deadline is April 1 each year and the medical examination form must be returned no later than May 1. For more information or to get on their mailing list, call (504) 566-9310, ext. 4.
