Its an adversarial world, where conflict and dominance cause untold harms.  Religions have contributed to these harms.  Spiritual principles can protect us. At Rosemont Summer Camp, we center our focus on love and inclusion.  All humans are related.  This is science.  This is scripture.  To  redress the harms of anti-blackness, we choose to focus our examples on the contributions of African descendents to help children coming to camp in a 98% African American neighborhood appreciate our shared African heritage as humans and our cultural legacy for those identified as Black.  

Beyond Tolerance:  Further, it is critical that children and youth whose reality places them as outsiders in an adversarial society feel even more safe, loved and supported.  Whether you or your family members are queer, whether you are from another country, whether you have abilities that require accommodation, we need to learn to move beyond suspicion, past tolerance to  acceptance.  Children, youth and adults of all identities and realities are welcome at Rosemont Summer Camp.  

Accessibility:  Our only limitation is in our facilities and our capacity to support certain abilities.  Katherine Johnson Global Academy has an elevator and accessible facilities. Camp activities will be designed with inclusivity in mind.  We may be limited in our ability to address certain ability differences.  We plan to have extra staff in each camper group to help with extra accommodations and staff absences, however, our team may not have the specific training required for some campers.  The registration form allows families to identify needs so that we can discuss whether, and if so, how we can best accommodate needs.  For example, if a child needs people to face them so they can read lips accurately, this is easy to accommodate, but it is unlikely we will ave someone fluent in sign-language on our staff or among our volunteers.  

Children with dedicated care supporters may apply, however, those supporters must participate in our camp trainings so that they promote the same, cohesive atmosphere as our staff and volunteers.  We welcome your questions about how to integrate one-on-one supporters into our camp.
