Year Round Respite Weekend Camps

Recreation Unlimited Important Update

Recreation Unlimited is committed to providing the best and safest experiences for youth and adults with disabilities and health concerns.  The hiring crisis that is affecting most businesses and organizations, unfortunately is affecting Recreation Unlimited as well.  Therefore, the waitlist for our camps is longer than usual. 

We are doing everything possible to hire and train the best team to provide the level of care that each of our camp participants needs and deserves.
