Accessibility at the Conference and Camp Wavus

Mobility

While most of the hills at Wavus are gentle gravel paths, there are a few more intense climbs at the camp. Some cabins at Wavus are closer to the main building or located on flatter ground, and may therefore be better suited to people who require wheelchairs or other mobility aids, or who are not able to walk longer distances or up or down hills. Cars are available for transporting people farther distances or up/down hills if needed.  If you anticipate this need, please reach out to the conveners at the time of registration. 

Comfort

Many of the programs during the Conference take place over 1-2 hours. Folding chairs are provided. Many attendees bring along their own chairs and seating types, rugs or blankets to sit upon, if folding chairs are uncomfortable.

Dietary Needs

Wavus will provide three meals a day for the participants and we ask that you communicate any dietary restrictions with registration to be sure we have enough time to assure appropriate accommodations.

Hearing and Audio

Many of the programs at the Conference are held on stage using amplified sound, however at this time, the Conference does not employ its own Sign Language Interpreter. The use of hearing aids or other devices is encouraged. Please communicate during registration what you may need.

Emergency Procedures

Camp Wavus is located in Jefferson and in the service area for MaineHealth Lincoln Hospital in downtown Damariscotta, ME. The camp has emergency supplies for urgent first aid, and defibrillators, fire extinguishers and water safety equipment.
