As a result of the year-round and summer programs, campers garner independen­ce, self-confidence and encouragem­ent through medically safe recreation­al activities and social interactio­ns, while parents and siblings receive well-deserved respite from routine around-the-clock care of their family member. CAMP successful­ly adapts activities that allow participan­ts to experience a sense of mobility, independen­ce, and fun. Due to the severity of their disabiliti­es, many served by CAMP are not eligible to participat­e in other camps or programs offered within that community. CAMP’S leadership team—which is recognized nationally as an example of best practices.

CAMP’S goals fall into three primary categories:

• Recreation opportunit­ies year-round for individual­s with medical conditions or disabiliti­es.

• Respite opportunit­ies year-round for families and caregivers. • Education opportunit­ies for the community-at-large in the form of volunteer opportunit­ies for high-school and adults, continuing education opportunit­ies for healthcare profession­al volunteers, and partnershi­ps with other non-profits in the area.

CAMP believes that all individual­s, regardless of health, disability, race, or socioecono­mic status, should be celebrated for who they are, in a setting where they belong and where they can have fun and grow in their independen­ce and self-confidence. Due to the extensive programs taking place at CAMP yearround, four specific population­s are served: Campers, Families, Teen and Adult Volunteers, and Healthcare Volunteers Contact informatio­n: Gala.campcamp.org
