Program Description:
**Registration for SPECIAL CAMPS begins the first week in February
Special Camps provides opportunities for children and adults with intellectual disabilities to experience new activities, form friendships, increase independence and self-esteem in 2-week long, loving, all volunteer run summer camps. With proper supervision by trained staff and 24-hour nursing, Special Camps is a safe overnight camp for both children and adults with intellectual disabilities, who could not otherwise attend a similar camp due to physical, medical or intellectual limitations.
Special Camps provides week-long respite to families and caregivers. Raising a child with special needs can be an enriching experience, but can also provide life-long care and financial challenges. That’s why Special Camps provides financial scholarships to campers in need.
