Overnight camp opportunities for adults with intellectual disabilities aged 23 and older.

Special Camps is an overnight, all-volunteer-run camp for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

While families and caregivers get a week-long respite, trained staff and 24-hour nursing provide a safe place for campers to explore:

  • New opportunities
  • Independence and self-esteem
  • Friendships

Special Camps will host an overnight camp session for adults ages 23 and older from June 7 to 12.

Campers will be divided into groups according to age.

Activities will include:

  • Swimming in a heated pool
  • A rope course, climbing wall and zipline
  • Archery and outdoor sports
  • Canoeing and fishing
  • Arts and crafts
  • Hayrides, campfire songs and s’mores

The cost is $1,200 per week. A limited number of partial scholarships are available for campers in need.
