New Camper Information
Camp Horizons is for people who are:
- Mild to moderately developmentally disabled and able to be supported fully and effectively within a 1:5 ratio;
- Ambulatory and physically able to participate in an active camping program (our facility is not wheelchair accessible);
- Reasonably proficient in activities of daily living such as eating, toileting, bathing and shaving; counselors will of course assist campers in these activities as needed;
- Able to sleep through the night; no awake 3rd shift provided;
- Between the ages of 8-80; there is a summer Masters Program designed for campers 40 and up.
Camp Horizons is a positive environment. We build on what campers can do, promote their self-esteem, and support them as they grow. We recognize that each person who has developmental disabilities is unique and has individual strengths, needs, talents, and gifts. As our campers engage in a variety of activities, they have opportunities to be independent and make choices.
