Courage Center Camps offer safe, accessible, natural environments where
children and adults with physical disabilities, sensory and language
impairments, and other disabilities or illnesses discover abilities they never
knew they had or they thought they had lost. Campers make new friends, and are
often introduced to sports or hobbies they develop further at home or at
school. Their self-confidence grows and their attitudes improve. Courage
Center Camps are accredited by the American Camp Association. For more than 35
years, our camps have met or exceeded camping industry standards for
excellence in programs, staff and facilities.
