Project Description:

Adams Camp Therapy and Recreation Programs provide a wide range of therapies and activities for children, young adults, and all family members. Through these programs they also provide respite, support and community for parents, as well as fun camp programs for siblings. The Early Start, Pathfinder and Trailblazer programs provide an intensive, multidisciplinary therapy program in a fun camp setting for younger children with special needs and their families. The Mountain Adventure Camp and Urban Adventure programs for children beginning at age 8 provide an experience that is full of fun, challenge and adventure for youth and young adults with special needs. Campers enjoy activities that expand social horizons, increase constructive risk-taking, and provide the opportunity to develop the courage to try new things while increasing independence and confidence. JFK Partners trainees and fellows have the opportunity to work at Adams Camp as another interdisciplinary training experience.
