Summer Camps

Indian Trails is a remarkable facility that brings adaptive recreation to the lives of each camper. It is simple in theory, but daunting in task. Indian Trails offers a barrier-free camp setting in which those with disabilities can participate in all manner of activities the outside world is ill-equipped to provide. It is a place filled with fun, recreation and friendship. Campers learn perseverance, team-work and self-reliance. They leave for home loaded with love, respect and memories.

Indian Trails accepts campers with a wide range of disabilities including Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, Spina Bifida. Inclusion and mainstreaming play key roles in making campers feel a part of things. With a capacity of up to  68 co-ed participants per session and serving over 700 people per year, ITC welcomes campers aged 7 and beyond.

Program opportunities at Indian Trails Camp include organized activities in the following areas:

  • Recreation
  • Ropes Challenge
  • Arts and Crafts
  • Swimming
  • Canoeing
  • Archery
  • Music and Drama

Additional components of the Summer Camp program include:

  • Campouts
  • Concerts
  • Dances
  • Hiking
  • Hay Rides
  • Talent Shows
  • Carnivals
  • Nature Studies

Each year, Indian Trails Camp hosts a variety of sessions that embody the summer camp experience. While most sessions are based on a "traditional" camp program and are set up according to age groups, other sessions provide a more specialized approach to camping - focusing on a specific theme of activities for varied age groups of campers. These specific theme of activities include, but is not limited to, Council Fires, Big Dance, live band, mystery trip, talent show, and new to 2011, sensory integration emphasis activities.  Each session of camp is not only an opportunity for campers to partake in fun but also afford families and caregivers a much needed rest and vacation.
