UCP of the North Bay is a locally run 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1981 after the merger of UCP of Marin (1954) and UCP of Sonoma (1969). The organization’s mission is to enhance the quality of life of people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities, their families, and their communities. Leadership for these recreation programs includes Danielle Schulze, Recreation Coordinator, and Jen Whalen, Director of Community Programs. United Cerebral Palsy of the North Bay has partnered with Sonoma County Regional Parks, Spectrum Surf and Environmental Training Companions, and the Coastal Conservancy, which sponsored the Shoreline Camp. Supervision and support at Camp Kaos is provided by camp counselors (staff) and volunteers from Sonoma State University and local high schools, and supervision and support on Adventure Trips is provided by UCP of the North Bay staff members and skilled volunteers from Environmental Traveling Companions (ETC). One parent shared, “I am incredibly thankful for UCP of the North Bay’s Bike and Swim Camp and the profound impact it has had on my son Nico.”
