Variety Summer Camp at Temple University provides a FREE, accessible, urban summer camp experience to youth with disabilities in Philadelphia. This free program offers low-income children with disabilities from Philadelphia neighborhoods the opportunity to skill build, socialize and engage in activities that
challenge them. The financial challenge of sending children to camp can also be difficult for families of children with
disabilities, especially those that are low-income families. In many cases, families who have children with disabilities must incur special costs associated with raising a special needs child. It is due to your
consistent generosity that low-income families in the Philadelphia area with the extra financial hardship of raising a child with physical and/or intellectual disabilities have access to our beneficial programmatic services.
