Special Camps Overnight Camp for Youth with Developmental Disabilities in Ingleside
Overnight camp opportunities for children and young adults with intellectual disabilities ages 9 to 22
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 children and young adults ages 9 to 22 from June 14 to 19.
Campers will be divided into groups for ages 9 to 13 and ages 14 to 22. 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.
