CAMP (Children's Association for Maximum Potential)

CAMP (Children's Association for Maximum Potential) offers summer camp, Teen & Adult Day Adventure, Parent’s Night Out, Respite Weekends, and Family Weekend Retreats. CAMP programs use volunteer counselors and healthcare volunteers, who receive extensive training for their roles. CAMP’s vision for all programs is that “CAMP is for the Camper,” and all activities are adapted so campers can fully participate regardless of ability or disability.

• Ages: 13–18 years old

Since 1979, CAMP has strengthened and inspired individuals with medical conditions or disabilities. Its mission is to strengthen and inspire individuals with disabilities, and those who care for them, through recreation, respite, and education. Year-round, CAMP includes individuals with medical conditions or disabilities as well as their siblings, offers respite for family members, provides leadership development for high-school students and young adults, and offers hands-on educational experiences for healthcare professionals. CAMP offers “camperships” to remove financial barriers for families. CAMP environments are intentionally structured so campers can interact in their own unique way, move around safely, feel more in control, and experience a boost in self-esteem. CAMP states that everyone deserves a place where they belong, where they can have fun, and where they can grow in independence and self-confidence, and that all individuals deserve to be celebrated for who they are rather than how they are labeled. Educating and mentoring staff and volunteers is described as an important part of CAMP’s mission.
