Ability Camp is a "camp within a camp" designed for campers who, in order to be safe and successful, require smaller ratios than what you may find in a traditional camp environment. Counselors work to provide physical, emotional, behavior and cognitive support  to help campers fully participate and succeed in outdoor/indoor camp activities.

ADVENTURE CAMP
Ability Adventure Camp is a fully mainstreamed, inclusive program that provides support for children and adolescents entering Kindergarten through grade 7 with intellectual, developmental and physical disabilities or behavioral health concerns alongside their age-similar peers of all abilities.

CAMPER READINESS
To be successful in Ability Camp, campers should be mainstreamed at least part of the day during school and be successful in a 
1:3 ratio (K-grade 7). Campers also must be independent with toileting and feeding. Campers who require 1:1 support for any of the above are welcome at Ability Camp with the assistance of a personal care aid, RBT or other support person provided by the family.
