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.
The camp focuses on social, educational, as well as athletic skills.
The targeted ages are for 14 to 22 years old.

with disabilities and the world around them. We partner with communities
and inclusive programs creating awareness about the possibilities that
inclusion can bring.
