We have been serving people with developmental disabilities since 1983.
Our Mission
Camp ReCreation strives to increase the awareness and acceptance of persons with developmental disabilities in the greater community.
Each year, Camp ReCreation provides a residential summer camp program as well as engaging year-round activities for its participants to inspire fun, friendship, social interaction and spiritual growth – all while creating valuable respite for parents and caregivers.
Camp ReCreation is staffed entirely by volunteers who generously share their time, energy and talents.
Volunteers range from high school students to grandparents and no specific prior experience is required.
Camp ReCreation always welcomes new volunteers and we are interested in speaking to any college students that are interested in gaining summer internship experience!
Sign Up for additional information regarding registration for Camp ReCreation as well as other activities throughout the year.
Camp ReCreation is always looking for more compassionate volunteers. To get involved:
Camp Recreation hopes to raise $10,000 in donations in 2019 to further subsidize camp fees for campers.
Each summer, Camp Recreation provides three, one-week sessions for individuals with developmental disabilities. Camp ReCreation inspires fun, friendship, social interaction and spiritual growth – all while creating valuable respite for parents and caregivers.

Our Impact
"Sometimes, you just want to cut loose and be yourself. Be that person without a care, who just goes for it. I like to think that Camp lets you be that person. Our campers come to Camp and they become rock stars and movie directors; Super athletes and dancing queens; Inspiring artists and the life of the party.
Watching your camper go from lighting up the stage at the talent show to winning all the prizes at the carnival, you can’t help but smile because you know everyone is having the time of their life. And you think, maybe we could all use a little more of this.
It’s not that hard really. Be a little more yourself. Have a little more fun. And brighten someone else’s day along the way."
