Summer Camp
City of Miami
Camp Shriver is a inclusive camp as a result of a collaboration between the City of Miami Sandra DeLucca Center,
Special Olympics of Miami Dade, Dade Amateur Golf Association and the
National Inclusion Project. The camp is for
registered Special Olympics Miami-Dade County Athletes,
with intellectual disabilities. Participants learn new sports skills, improve individual
sports performance, participate in individual and team sports, build friendships, and have fun with peers.
The camp sports activities include basketball, softball, soccer, sailing, kayaking, golf, swimming, and arts and crafts.
This inclusive camp focuses on social, educational, as well as athletic skills
training.
The targeted ages for young adults with
disabilities is 12 to 22 years old and for young adults without
disabilities 14 to 18 years old.
This 6 week camp is funded through the fundraising efforts of
the Dade Amateur Golf Association and a grant from the National
Inclusion Project. Admission to the camp is free.
*The National Inclusion
Project serves to bridge the gap that exists between young people
with disabilities and the world around them. We partner with communities
and inclusive programs creating awareness about the possibilities that
inclusion can bring.
