CAMP (Children's Association for Maximum Potential)

CAMP's mission is to strengthen and inspire individuals with disabilities - and those who care for them - through Recreation, Respite and Education.

CAMP believes that all individuals, regardless of health, disability, race, or socioeconomic status, deserve the opportunity to participate in a community where they are celebrated for who they are, not how they are labeled - where they belong and where they can have fun and grow in their independence and self-confidence. CAMP serves individuals with mild to severe medical conditions or disabiliti

Our Story

Imagine your child is non-verbal and has such extreme medical needs that every basic need: eating, bathing, and physical movement has to be facilitated by you 24/7. Picture scraping every dollar you have to pay for therapies, orthotics, and medications that give your child a better quality of life. For most of our CAMP families, this is their reality. Too often individuals with special needs, or who are considered medically fragile, have never had โ€œtypicalโ€ childhood experiences like swinging, sliding, friends to play with, or the joy of being unconditionally accepted. Attending weekend outings is challenging, and attending summer camp is not thought of as an option. Caregivers experience higher depression rates, higher rates of divorce, have higher rates of mental and physical health issues, and finances are constantly a struggle. For these reasons, CAMP has dedicated 40 years to this special population to ensure opportunities for recreation, respite and education are available!

Since 1979, Children's Association for Maximum Potential (CAMP) has provided recreational programming for individuals, aged 5 - 50, with developmental, intellectual, medical, behavioral, and physical disabilities. Many of the individuals who attend CAMP do not have the option to go to other camps, including "special needs camps", due to the severity of their disability or medical condition. We believe that โ€œCAMP is for the camperโ€ and our objective is to help every camper reach their maximum potential and know what it means to live life without being defined by a disability.

Our goals fall into three primary categories:


  • Recreation opportunities year-round for over individuals with special needs.
  • Videos (show all)
