Special Camps Overnight Camps for Children, Youth and Adults with Developmental Disabilities

Special Camps provide opportunities for children and adults with intellectual disabilities to experience overnight camp. Special Camps are volunteer-run and offer trained staff and 24-hour nursing for children and adults with disabilities who could not otherwise attend a similar camp due to physical, medical or developmental needs. Financial scholarships are available to campers in need.

Campers can make friends, increase independence and try new activities. Special Camps take place each year at Camp Red Leaf in Ingleside.

Camp registration typically opens in early February. For questions, please contact Colleen McDonald at (630) 690-0944 or colleen.scamps@icloud.com.
