Camp, Respite and Recreation

We offer two summer day camps and an overnight camp in the Poconos. Each camp offers a different environment, but they all feature a full schedule of arts and crafts activities, swimming, music/expressive arts, games, nature studies, and sensory experiences at a 1:3 counselor to camper ratio.

Weekend Respite Camp is a mini version of Growing Green and a great way to try an overnight stay without committing to a full week away from home. And for those who love camp, it's a way to continue the fun throughout the year.

Hang Time is an evening recreation program that connects students (ages 12-21) with their peers for something fun to do on a Friday night that does not include parents.

Specialized Staffing

We hire college students who are studying physical therapy, therapeutic recreation, special education, psychology, and pre-med who have a desire to work with people with disabilities. 

Camp staff attend a week-long training program that includes: positive behavior supports; mobility and transfer techniques; inclusion and social skills modeling; choice giving strategies; silliness and fun making. Our in-house physical and occupational therapists provide support in developing daily care routines.
