Our Utah Ski Program Directors, Erin and Jon, are eager to share an exciting opportunity to get back on the slopes in Park City, Utah!

Campers ages 13-19 should get ready to learn how to ski or snowboard, improve their abilities, and gain confidence shredding down the mountains. Working with the National Ability Center, campers have the opportunity to use adaptive equipment if needed so that everyone is having a blast and making lifelong memories!

Participants will fly from Chicago to Salt Lake City on the start date of camp, and then fly home from Salt Lake City to Chicago on the last day of camp. There will be bus transportation available from Milwaukee to Chicago if needed. All campers and staff will stay at the National Ability Center’s campus, which includes additional amenities that will be used throughout the week.

Current Safety Strategies

Camp One Step is committed to ensuring the health and safety of the individuals who participate in our camps. With our camper and volunteer wellbeing in mind, the following safety strategies are in place for all in-person camps:

Routine childhood vaccinations, which include diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, and chicken pox, are required. Medical exemptions for campers may be requested and will be reviewed by the Medical Director and Physician Advisor. COVID-19 and influenza vaccines are recommended, but not required.
Pre-camp health screening is required
Masking is optional. Masks will be available for those desiring one. For travel programs that include air travel, masks will be required when traveling through the airport and when on the plane.
HEPA filters will be used in shared sleeping rooms (HEPA filters will only be available at local programs, not travel programs)

Camp One Step encourages any individuals at an increased risk of infection to consult with their healthcare team prior to attending camp to ensure that an in-person camp is a good fit. If you have any questions or concerns about the above, please send questions to Medical Director, Susie Burke at [email protected].

Camp One Step is so grateful to the community for continuing to put health and safety at the forefront of all that we do. We hope to see you at camp!

Jon Collazo, Program Director

Jon first heard about Camp One Step from Erin H. (Program Director for Utah Ski) who raved about how amazing COS is and told him he had to see it for himself. Jon volunteered for Utah Ski in 2020 and was immediately blown away by the campers and volunteers and from then on was hooked on the COS community. Since then Jon has been a volunteer counselor for Utah Ski, Summer Camp Virtual & Winter Camp Virtual and is now a Program Director along with Erin H. for Utah Ski! When asked what advice he would give to campers or volunteers he said “#1 – HAVE FUN!”.

Utah Ski Testimonials

“Can’t say enough on how it changed her. I really didn’t expect a change. It showed her that she can live a life outside of cancer and move on like the other kids in the group. It was awesome for her to have people she can relate too!!!!! EXCELLENT!”
-Camper Parent

“[Our camper] loved, loved, LOVED ski camp!! Thank you again SO MUCH for this INCREDIBLE opportunity! You are all AMAZING and I know [she] can’t wait for the next time! And the best part? I never had to worry about her once…I know she’s in great hands with Camp One Step! Thank you!!!!”
-Camper Parent

“You are doing amazing things for these kids. She missed part of her childhood and struggled to regain relationships after treatment. She will never forget this amazing opportunity. It was so nice as a parent to be able to just say, yes go have fun, and we didn’t have to worry about ANY financial burden. We would not have been able to afford to give her this amazing opportunity. THANK YOU”
-Camper Parent

Our Medical Team

Camp One Step’s Medical Director, Susie Burke, leads our volunteer medical team. The Camp One Step medical team is comprised of volunteer health care professionals who have a passion for working with children and adolescents who are or have experienced the challenges of a life threatening illness. Even though it is important to have staff with pediatric oncology experience, we also welcome staff with other clinical backgrounds such as general pediatrics, adult oncology, emergency, and ICU to name a few. The medical staff work closely together in teams to address the medical needs of each camper. Our goal is to promote the health and well-being of the campers in an atmosphere of fun.

More Camps. More Fun.
