Benefits & Highlights

• Camps offer a fun yet structured environment to bridge school breaks. From holiday break to spring break, or multiple weeks throughout the summer, camps are a great way to keep active on days off!
• While camps do not include book-learning, the learning continues with social skills building, following directions and decision-making.
• Our camp staff members are selected based upon their previous recreation experiences, as well as their previous experiences with children and teens with disabilities. WDSRA also looks at their creativity, enthusiasm, and desire to learn.
• All camp staff and volunteers receive camp-specific orientation, in addition to training on WDSRA’s policies and procedures. Topics include, but are not limited to: information on various disabilities, behavior management strategies, camp planning and activity adaptation, assistive communication, medication procedures, and emergency procedures.
