Our experienced and trained staff members ensure that all activities are adapted to meet each child’s unique needs, abilities, and interests.
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to experience the benefits of summer camp, regardless of their age or disabilities. Our program fosters self-esteem, confidence, and independence, helping campers reach their full potential and develop important skills that they can carry into other facets of their lives.
