    Traditional Overnight Camp

    Campers foster lasting friendships while playing sports, creating arts and crafts, singing around the campfire, paddling a boat, and more. As this may be the first chance for many campers to spend a night away from home, they are encouraged to become active participants in their own care as well as their continued development of independence. Campers are shown that even though they have a disability; they can be anything they want to be and are provided with an environment where they can be successful. Most importantly, the camp offers them a welcoming atmosphere where they can have fun! We have traditional camp program weeks for nearly every age!
