We want your child's experience at Camp Wired to be a successful one. However, if your child requires an aide at school, then an aide must accompany your child to class. The aide must be at least 18 years old and must provide Camp Wired a valid background check. Please contact us prior to enrolling so we can discuss your child's needs. Our goal is to make sure every child succeeds at Camp Wired.
