Opportunities include overnight and day programs with a focus on building self-esteem, and self-confidence. The barrier-free setting and supportive staff provide the opportunity for campers to build lasting friendships while participating in recreational activities accommodated to their individual needs like swimming, fishing, kayaking, hiking, biking, archery, boating, and more!
