Adam’s Camp

Winter Park — YMCA Snow Mountain Ranch 303-563-8290 www.adamscamp.org

Adventure Camp is a five-day/ night sleepaway camp that is full of fun, challenge and adventure. Campers enjoy activities that expand social horizons and provide the opportunity to develop the courage to try new things while increasing independence and confidence. This program is designed for youth and young adults with mild to moderate developmental disabilities such as autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy and Down syndrome. Campers must be mobile and enjoy group activities. Campers participate in daily adventures, which may include zip-lining, archery, river rafting, alpine slide rides, swimming, wall climbing, campfires, cabin games and a camp-wide dance. Campers stay in family-style cabins with counselors, volunteers and peers. Our staffing of two experienced counselors and four teen volunteers per team of 10 campers allows for individualized relationships with each camper.
