2026 RFQ - Providers of Summer Camp and Alternative

The Department of Children and Families (DCF) is seeking qualified providers who already operate DCF‑approved summer day‑camp or alternative recreational programs to add one‑to‑one support services for youth with developmental disabilities during the 2027 summer camp season. Qualified providers will be added to a statewide Qualified Provider List and may receive fee‑for‑service reimbursement for approved services. The effort focuses on direct, non‑skilled support (ADL assistance, prompting, crisis planning) delivered in day‑camp settings only, with strict staffing, background‑check, and reporting requirements. • Service window: June‑August 2027 (up to 7 hours/day, 10 traditional camp days or 20 alternative sessions). • Payment: $7.69 per 15‑minute unit (max $215.32 per youth per day). • Staffing: One‑to‑one staff must have either a BA/BS plus 1 yr experience or HS diploma/GED plus 3 yr experience, plus required training and background checks. • Administrative: Submit two PDFs (Section II & III) plus AOR form by 18 Nov 2026; must already be a DCF‑qualified camp provider or submit simultaneous camp qualification. • Ongoing compliance: Daily service records, incident reporting, annual CYBER billing training, and adherence to state regulations (Danielle’s Law, abuse reporting, etc.).
