MAKE AN IMPACT

Host an Event

and spread the word!

A special and unique way to support CAMP is to host an event. There are many options that are fun and easy. Examples: donate your birthday (or another special day), set-up an “eat for a cause ” event at a restaurant of your choice, host a concert (just ask us how!), and many more options. Give us a call, and we will help you set it up.

Camperships remove barriers!

We understand the substantial expenses associated with caring for a child with disabilities. Therefore, we offer families payment assistance through our Campership Program. Additional financial assistance is also available upon request.
