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.

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
