The children participate in a traditional camp setting with additional support staff. Located at Henry Kaufmann campgrounds, the environment fosters success, confidence, and self-worth through recreation and socialization activities. The camp features daily swims, music and art programs, sports and nature areas. Funding is available through Medicaid Waiver Respite and scholarship programs. Please watch for our upcoming open houses.
