Our support ratio is 1:3 unless otherwise arranged with Camp Director or during our “Camper Centric” 1:1 sessions.

Summer Day Camp: A weekday session offered Monday-Friday Full-Day 8:30 am to 4:30 pm throughout the summer for campers with various disabilities. Base support ratio of 1:3. One-to-one arranged as available with the Camp Director.

Weekend Sleep Away Camp: During our spring and fall seasons, full weekend sleep away camp sessions are offered on scheduled weekends from Friday at 6:30 pm to Sunday at 12:30 pm. These sessions offer a 1:3 base support ratio, a wide variety of adapted seasonal activities, and fun for campers of all ages.

Weekend Day Camp: During our spring and fall seasons, weekend day camp sessions are offered on scheduled Saturdays from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. These sessions offer a 1:3 base support ratio, a wide variety of adapted seasonal activities, and fun for campers of all ages.

Wednesday Night Social Club: During the spring and fall, we offer our Wednesday Night Social Club. Activities vary by week and the social club is from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm every Wednesday. This is open to anyone with a disabilities and their caregivers and families. You don’t have to be a camper to attend and you don’t have to register. This is a drop-in event. A small fee may be charged for some activities.

Camper Centric (1:2 or 1:1) Sessions: Geared towards campers who need smaller sessions and more support to be successful, “Just for the Camper” sessions are set at a 1:2 counselor to camper ratio with additional counselors available to provide needed additional support when needed. Sessions may be designated as focused on autism/intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities, or inclusive of all 1:2 support needs.

Session and Activity Summary: Seasonal activities include archery, crafts, indoor/outdoor sports & games, campouts, campfires, fishing, swimming, sledding, and canoeing. Activities are adapted to the abilities of the participant and focus on full-activity participation to promote the building of self-esteem and maintain a therapeutic impact. Campers are given the opportunity to set goals with their counselors and are encouraged to challenge themselves and their perceived limitations in a safe, challenge-by-choice environment. All programs are designed to be adapted to the abilities of the participants to provide a therapeutic environment.
