About
Camp Fatima of New Jersey offers activities such as singing around the flagpole, swimming in the pool, and experiencing the outdoors. Campers spend time enjoying the week’s or weekend’s activities and entertainment, reminiscing around the campfire, and taking part in art, athletic, musical, and sensory experiences. Programs are structured around a theme that is brought to life through silly costumes, engaging daily activities, an interactive play, and these varied experiences, and no two programs are alike.
• Ages: 5–18 years old
• Schedule: Two one-week overnight camping sessions for school-aged (5–21) children with disabilities, plus four weekends throughout the spring and fall for adults with disabilities
• Price: All campers attend programs free of charge
Camp Fatima of New Jersey was officially incorporated in 1971 and has been in continuous operation since its inception in 1968.
