Camp
Programs
At Respite Care of San Antonio (RCSA), we are parents, caregivers, teachers, and advocates, who understand the struggle of finding affordable, quality childcare when school is out for spring break, the summer, and around the holidays. This is why RCSA is committed to offering childcare services for children with complex medical conditions and/or disabilities throughout the year during San Antonio Independent School District's spring, summer, fall, and winter breaks. At these camps, children enjoy creating art projects, developmentally stimulating activities, and plenty of outdoor playtime led by tenured staff members.
RCSA's Camps cost $37.37 per day per child. This fee may be covered for families who qualify for Child Care Subsidy or Child Care Aware.
Respite Care's (RCSA) Camp Programs are available to children three years old through their 13th birthday who have a qualifying disability and their non-disabled siblings. You can find our camps at RCSA's H-E-B House on Craig Street in the historic community of Monte Vista.
