Camp Dream programs are 100% volunteer, providing a 1:1 camper to counselor ratio during its Summer Camp sessions. Camp Dream offers a barrier-free environment and has never turned away a camper due to the severity of their disability or their financial capability. What really sets Camp Dream apart is its Volunteers. From the Program Director to the Junior Counselor, Camp Dream Volunteers are passionate. Volunteers come from near and far to ensure our special Campers are able to fulfill their dreams each summer, and during Camp Out sessions throughout the year. Because we believe that all children and young adults with a disability, regardless of their financial situation, have a right to recreational and social experiences that enhance self-worth and value, we rely on the generosity of donors and sponsors to allow those Campers who are unable to pay the ability to attend Camp Dream.
