Camp Nyoda's Definitions

There are many words used interchangeably and with varying definitions among the press, social media, doctor’s offices, and schools.  To keep us all working together, we are defining the following words that we will be using this summer when our focus will be on your daughters. We thank you for taking the time to read and understand our definitions.
