Children with epilepsy face additional risks around water, so it’s crucial to provide a detailed Seizure Action Plan to camp staff and ensure that rescue medication is accessible and easy to reach. Inquire about how water activities are supervised and confirm that a person trained in seizure first aid is always nearby. Learn more: https://www.epilepsy.com/lifestyle/summer-camp/water-safety

"I first started volunteering with the Epilepsy Foundation at the EpilepTEA Party in 2024. I loved seeing how the Foundation supports epilepsy awareness and education. No one in my family pushed me to get involved—it was my own curiosity and desire to help others with disabilities that inspired me. Volunteering gave me a way to contribute, learn, and make a difference in the epilepsy community." Be inspired by Aundrea and take action to . Visit https://ow.ly/Eqsg50Zc0UK.
