Residential Summer Camp Come join Camp K in making unforgettable memories! Our goal is to provide a

summer camp that promotes a healthy recreation and therapeutic leisure lifestyle for individuals with physical and cogni-

tive disabilities.

Connecting with people who share similar circumstances is beneficial and helps

increase self efficacy. Camp K is proud to have 2 specialty programs; one for

individuals with Neurofibromatosis (NF) and one for individuals who have had organ transplants. These two specialty

programs are one of a kind and attract participants from all over the country!

The five-day, four-night residential camp begins Monday morning and ends Friday at noon. Campers stay in bunk-style

cabins with restrooms and have 24-hour supervision by our trained staff. Campers have the opportunity to participate in

arts/crafts, canoeing, nature, horseback riding, low/high ropes course, climbing wall, swimming, fishing, etc.
