Year Round Respite Weekend Camps are for youth and adults (ages 8 and up) with developmental and/or physical disabilities. These camps provide campers and their families a getaway weekend throughout the year. Campers spend a weekend at camp enjoying a variety of activities while their families and caregivers have the opportunity to spend time away from the daily care of the individual.

Summer and Winter Residential Camps are for youth and adults with developmental and/or physical disabilities. There are two weeklong camps for youth (ages 8-22), one weeklong camp for youth and young adults (ages 15-35) and four weeklong camps for adults (ages 23 and up), and one weeklong winter camp for young adults and adults (ages 18 and up).

Summer Day Camps are for youth and teens (ages 5-22) with developmental and/or physical disabilities, as well as their typically developing friends and siblings. This inclusive experience allows friends and typical siblings to attend camp together and promotes personal growth in a fun and challenging environment.
