It is a program of the Epilepsy-Pratt Institute, a non-profit organization. The camp offers traditional summer camp activities such as swimming, arts and crafts, and campfires, with the added benefit of 24-hour medical supervision by neurologists, nurses, and medical students (source: epiny.org/epilepsy/camp-eagr/).

Camp EAGR - Counselor-In-Training serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in specialty, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
