Cody & Katie will put a smile on your face...
This summer we have added a few new positions and I'm excited to have Cody Weavil as our Assistant Unit Director, and Katie Adams as our Unit Liaison. I have witnessed the spirit, positivity, and joy that both Katie and Cody bring to camp. They have both been a solid support and I appreciate all that they have done to help support our campers and volunteers!

I started going to camp twitch and shout four years ago. I love the campers, counselors and all of the activities we do. Especially, rockwall climbing, boating and the wacky Olympics!
INFORMATION ABOUT SUMMER CAMP 2017
Camp Twitch and Shout is an award winning American Camp Association (ACA) Accredited Camp. In 2016, we received the Regional Edie Klein Program of Excellence Award, and recently the National Eleanor P. Eells Program of Excellence Award! Both awards are a reflection of the dedication and compassion of our incredible group of volunteer professionals and Counselors.
This summer we will be accepting applications from children ages 8 to 17 with a confirmed diagnosis of Tourette syndrome. Our 17-year old campers will be in our Leaders In Training program (also known as the LIT program). There will be an interview process to help them practice for some day applying as a counselor - information will be sent to you sometime in March. The Camper registration process is on a first come-first serve basis by age groups…once an age group is filled, we will start a wait list and notify you if a spot becomes available.
Camp Twitch and Shout is a program of the "Tourette Center & Support, Inc.", a 501c3 nonprofit here in Georgia. Through fundraising efforts and the generosity of donors, we hope to provide help to as many families as possible through Financial Assistance, as well as a sliding scale of subsidized tuition options for those families who are unable to afford the full cost of camp. Camp tuition covers programming and all of the child’s expenses once they get to camp.
There is a $50 fee required by all campers, including those requesting Financial Assistance. The Financial Assistance application is to be filled out only by those families in need who cannot afford the $500 minimum subsidized tuition. The application is located in your online account after completing registration. A detailed explanation is located as a link on the Camper's page of the website under "Tuition Tiers". Follow the instructions in the confirmation email. The deadline to apply for full or partial financial assistance is March 1st.
There is also a sliding scale of tuition options for all other applicants. The tuition options range from $500 up to the full tuition of $900. Please choose the tuition option that you are most able to afford – this will allow us to provide more assistance to those families in need.
Other optional costs include:
1. Shuttle fees for transportation to and from Atlanta Hartsfield Airport - $25 each way (you can choose one way or round trip).
2. Linen rental fee of $25 (this option is ONLY for those campers flying in to camp)
3. Yearbook $30 (available by the beginning of December 2017)
4. Individual camp pictures $10 – 1 5x7 and 4 wallets with the camp logo
5. There are several Camp Store items also available at check in and check out – more information in the Spring.
Applications will be up on our website the first week of January 2017!
