At Greenville Optimist Camp for Persons with Disabilities, the whole family can enjoy a memorable summer experience! 

This summer, parents of children with disabilities can give their family an unforgettable experience at the Greenville Optimist Camp for Persons with Disabilities. The camp serves adults and children who have received or are receiving Special Education services, regardless of age or ability to pay. 

At the camp, families can take part in a range of activities, from fishing and boating to arts and crafts, swimming, nature experiences, and trips. There are also nightly campfires where everyone can gather and relax. The camp is divided into weekly sessions by age group and is open to any family in the local service area. 

So why not make this summer a special one for your family? Come to the Greenville Optimist Camp for Persons with Disabilities and enjoy a unique and unforgettable experience!

The upcoming camping season is quickly approaching and planning is underway to provide the high-quality camp experience that Greenville Optimist Camp Wah-Wah-Tay-See (WWTS) is known for. Part of that planning involves identifying about $73,000, which is the cost of running the Camp. We are grateful to many individuals, businesses, and organizations that have stepped up this year and contributed to this very worthwhile endeavor.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Lori Johnson at (616) 236-1037, or via email at loriJ@8cap.org. Camp phone (during camp only) is (616) 754-1376.

All donations to the Greenville Optimist Camp WWTS for Persons with Disabilities will be used to provide “camperships” to individuals that might not be able to afford the entire cost of attending camp. The cost of one camper to attend one session of camp is $250. We do ask families and campers to pay what they can, but we do not want to turn anyone away because of an inability to pay. Any amount that you can donate would be greatly appreciated! Donations will be made to EightCAP, Inc., which is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, so your donations may be tax deductible. EightCAP, Inc. is a Community Action Agency.

Today, our camper returned home, and his stories and excitement make this Mama very happy! When I asked him if he wanted to go next year, he exclaimed, "YES!!" Thank you for providing our son with such a memorable experience this week. He is eager to tell me more. Thank you for being good role models for him, Calvin and Dakota. He speaks so highly of you - actually, of everyone, but he specifically mentioned you. Thank you to everyone who helped keep our son safe, fed, and entertained. Enjoy a few days of peace and quiet before the next round! Hopefully see you next year!
