Camp Tuscaloosa is led by Sam and Lisa Seitles, who are also associated with Read Preschool, and are often referred to by families as Mr. Sam and Ms. Lisa. One parent notes that Lisa is extremely knowledgeable and that there are staff on site with Type 1 diabetes. Another parent explains that their daughter with Type 1 diabetes was accommodated for food allergies for daily special treats and that there were staff members with Type 1 on site.
Several parents describe their children learning to swim and cook at Camp Tuscaloosa and talk about their kids’ experiences playing in the gaga pit and being part of the Camp Podcast. Multiple families mention that their children have attended for many years, with some campers later becoming counselors. One family notes that Camp Tuscaloosa warmly welcomes the inclusion of deaf and hard of hearing kids and describes staff going above and beyond each day to support that inclusion.
Parents also mention that Sam and Lisa have been with Camp Tuscaloosa and READ Preschool for at least 8 years. Families describe Camp Tuscaloosa as a generational experience, with older children, younger children, and even grandchildren attending. Community members note that Sam and Lisa continue to give back to the community and that they can often be found with the “wheel of fun” at town-wide events.
