▌ Editor's read The provided URL, https://www.epilepsy.com/local/washington, loads as the Epilepsy Foundation's local Washington page, which mentions Camp Discovery as a program for children with epilepsy. However, the camp is listed as taking place in Rockaway Beach, Oregon, not Washington, which is a discrepancy. The website indicates it's an overnight camp for children and teens with epilepsy, offering activities like swimming, arts and crafts, and campfires, with medical staff available 24/7. There is no specific information about ACA accreditation or state licensing for the camp itself on this page. The Epilepsy Foundation is a nonprofit organization. Google reviews for "Camp Discovery Washington" are not readily available, likely due to it being a program of a larger foundation rather than an independently reviewed entity. The Epilepsy Foundation's main Instagram handle is @epilepsyfoundation and their Facebook handle is EpilepsyFoundation. The site does not explicitly mention staff background checks, nor does it provide specific staff-to-camper ratios.
