Camp Attitude is an absolutely amazing Camp for families that have a child with special needs. Camper families are not charged. You are welcomed with open arms and acceptance. You are treated just like a "normal typical" family and ALL of the kids participate in ALL of the activities. Parents can sit and soak in seeing the smiles and joy on their children's faces when they are on a horse, riding a jet ski, playing in the river, etc. It's truly a wonderful life changing camp for families that have a child with a special need. It has been a true blessing to our daughter, our family and the joy and love we have felt while there is... Well.. fills our hearts and soul. Camp Attitude is truly a blessing.
Camp Attitude is an awesome place. My son counts the days until we will be going back. His t-shirts from camp are the only clothes he wants to wear. He is accepted and is able to do things that would be very difficult in other settings.
It is wonderful to have a camp that is designed for every member of the family, since he is too medically fragile to go to a camp without me and would be unable to attend another type of camp. Because of the buddy system, he has independence from me and gains a new best friend every year.
We all love going and support the mission of Camp Attitude!
Camp Attitude is a wonderful not for profit camp for people with disabilities and their families. They don't charge the families to attend. Instead, those who come and volunteer to be buddies or work at the camp are the ones who pay to be there. That is the money they use to allow the families to attend for free. It is a 5 day camp where those with disabilities are allowed to just be "normal". They have a lake day where they can jet ski, tube, take boat rides and just have fun. The offer activities like laser tag and horseback riding. It is just a place to not see the disability but see the person. If it weren't for this camp, my daughter would never have been able to attend a camp. We love Camp Attitude, the people and the whole mission of "having the attitude as that of Jesus Christ."
My daughter has a rare severe physical disability that makes her fragile enough that she cannot attend most summer camps. However, Camp Attitude welcomes her with open arms! the wonderful part is the total acceptance at Camp! Everything has wheelchair access. Everyone sees the child not the disability. There is no pity, only love! Every activity, be it water fights or hot air balloons, is designed to let each and every child participate! Camp runs 100% on donations. No paid staff. Everyone gives their time to give kids and their families a special fun filled week of summer Camp!
