As a child growing up with epilepsy, the social challenges one might face can be overwhelming. Kids & Teens Club enables children and teens to connect with others of the same age who understand what it means to live with epilepsy. The club focuses on ensuring that individuals know their self-worth, have a sense of belonging, and are a part of a social network that specifically addresses their unique needs.
Heroes Sports Camp is a free three-day sports camp for 6-17 year olds living with epilepsy and their siblings. We have sports, games, arts and crafts every day! A snack will be provided. Space is limited – spots will be available on a first come, first serve basis. All participants will receive a free t-shirt. For more information, contact Karli Paggeot at
