Children enrolled in the Children’s Long Term Support (CLTS) Program who are in need of additional supports should have a referral submitted to initiate services. Please have your child’s CLTS Support and Service Coordinator submit a referral to begin the process for respite care services and access to eligible camps.

Respite care services maintain and strengthen the participant’s natural supports by easing the daily stress and care demands for their family, or other primary care giver(s), on a short-term basis (hours, overnight, or longer). These services provide a level of care and supervision appropriate to the participant’s needs while their family or other primary caregiver(s) are temporarily relived from daily caregiving demands.

Supervised visits for foster children offer a safe, structured space to keep family ties while professionals monitor interactions for the child’s safety. They support bonding, model positive parenting, let caseworkers track progress and behavior, and prioritize emotional and physical well-being. Clear rules, consistent routines, and trained supervisors make visits predictable and reassuring.

Respite camps are a great way for kids to have fun, make new friends, and enjoy exciting activities, such as—arts, games, hikes, team challenges that are led by caring professional staff. For children enrolled in the CLTS program, families and caregivers, camps offer essential respite, knowing children are supported in a warm, affirming structured setting. Many camps are offered through-out the year!
