Announcement from the Board: 

October 22, 2025

Dear CTAS Community, 

For the past 17 years, Camp Twitch and Shout has partnered with Camp Twin Lakes to host our summer camp. We are deeply saddened to share that Camp Twin Lakes has decided to discontinue this partnership. Although we are disappointed by CTL’s decision, we acknowledge that our organizations’ values and goals are no longer aligned.

The well-being, safety, and joy of our campers and families have always been—and will continue to be—our highest priority. Camp Twitch and Shout remains proudly accredited by the American Camp Association and continues to meet or exceed all relevant standards for care, safety, and inclusivity.

Transparently, this means that we will not be able to have camp in 2026. However, the Board is committed to finding new and creative ways to support our community in the coming year. We remain optimistic about building new partnerships and exploring pathways that will enable camp to return to a new location in future years.

We recognize that many of you look forward to camp all year and rely on the community it provides. We know how deeply this news will affect our campers, families, and volunteers. Camp Twitch and Shout has always been a place where our community feels understood, accepted, and celebrated. Please know that this decision does not mark the end of Camp Twitch and Shout’s mission—it simply marks a transition. We remain fully committed to our mission of supporting individuals and families affected by Tourette Syndrome and Tic Disorders through connection, education, and community.

Any questions, ideas, and reflections you may have can be submitted to this form; We will address and discuss your questions in our upcoming virtual office hours. Please keep an eye out for an announcement on when these will occur with Liv, our Camp Director, and several members of our Board. 

With Gratitude,
The TICS Board of Directors & Camp Twitch and Shout Leadership Team
