Classic Camps offer a large variety of all our daily activities!

The focus of our classic camps is plenty of fun, adventure, and friendship.  

Classic Camps

Specialty Sessions focus on a specific skill, theme, or outcome for the week. Those who attend these sessions will also have a chance to participate in some of the other activities offered at camp (challenge & waterfront), but it is not the focus of their week. Specialty Camps have different age ranges, ability levels, or diagnoses for camper eligibility due to the goals and nature of the program that week. Campers will attend our favored Banquet Diner & Dance with the rest of the camp on the last night.

For many years, my adult daughter (who has Down Syndrome) has enjoyed the various camping experiences at The Fowler Center. The staff is friendly, funny, and enjoys spending time with the campers. Heather Beltowski is looking forward to all of the activities, including campfires, s'mores, boating, a high ropes course, horseback riding, hiking, swimming, arts and crafts, and so on.
