Continuing Telehealth Support During Camp

May 2, 2025

At Appel Farm, we believe in nurturing the whole camper—creatively, socially, emotionally, and mentally. As part of that commitment, we’re proud to offer support for campers who would like to continue their regular therapy sessions while they’re with us at camp.

We know how important it can be for campers to maintain the relationships they’ve built with their therapists, especially during times of transition or growth. Continuing telehealth during camp can be a wonderful way for campers to stay grounded, process their experiences, and carry their mental health support systems with them, even in a new and exciting environment. 

Here’s how it works:
We ask that therapy sessions be scheduled during Rest Hour (1:00–2:00 PM) or Afternoon Free Choice (5:00–6:00 PM) so that they don’t interfere with your camper’s core classes and community-building activities. When you schedule your camper’s session, you’ll share important details like the therapist’s contact information, session link, and any access codes or passwords.

On our end, we’ll do our best to provide a quiet, private space and do everything we can to ensure a stable internet connection for your camper’s session. That said, camp is a dynamic environment. Some days are busier than others, and while we do our best to keep things running smoothly, there may be occasional hiccups, like a spotty internet connection or a momentary delay in transitioning to the session space. If any issues arise, we’ll be in touch right away using the caregiver contact information you provide.

We see therapy as a positive and proactive part of your camper’s experience. It’s just one more way we can work together to help them feel safe, supported, and empowered while they grow, learn, and create at Appel Farm.

If you’re interested in setting up telehealth sessions during your camper’s stay, please work with your camper’s therapist to schedule your camper’s sessions and then use the link here to add your camper’s session to our calendar.

As always, thank you for being our partner in making this summer one full of connection, creativity, and care.
