Foundation for Dreams and Dream Oaks Camp

Foundation for Dreams and Dream Oaks Camp The Mission of Foundation for Dreams Inc. is to offer an exceptional camping experience for children.

The Foundation for Dreams is unique in that we are the only camp in the Southwest Region of Florida that provides year round residential and day sessions for children with varying ability levels (both physical and developmental) and chronic/terminal medical conditions) including: (but not limited to) autism, spinal bifida, cerebral palsy, developmental delays and cancer patients. This year, the Fl

orida Department of Education has identified that there are close to 350,000 children in the state of Florida that have been identified as having a diagnosed special need and qualify for our program. Dream Oaks Camp fills the need of non-school related recreational activities for children with special needs and provides the respite care for parents and/or caregivers. ARCH Respite Network reports that respite has been shown to help sustain overall family caregiver health and well-being, as well as avoid or delay out-of-home placements. Our program offers specialized activities for children with varying ability levels (both physical and developmental), special needs and chronic/terminal medical conditions, as they are adapted to include 100% participation of all campers. Our unique programs focus on each child’s abilities, and are specifically designed to strengthen their social skills, self-esteem and independence in a safe, barrier-free environment. Program activities include, but are not limited to: arts and crafts, music and drama, yoga, aquatic programs (swimming and canoeing), boat rides, sports and games, nature studies, therapeutic horseback riding and many other fun camping activities and experiences.

☀️ Looking for Recommendations! ☀️

As we begin our first summer at our new campus, we’ve realized we could really use more shade for our campers and staff.

We’re exploring options for a shade structure, pole barn, pavilion, or other covered outdoor space and would love recommendations from our community.

If you know of a company, contractor, donor, or individual with experience designing or building these types of structures, please comment below or send us a message.
Additional shade would help create a more comfortable and accessible environment for the children and families we serve, many of whom spend their weekends and summers making memories at camp.

Thank you for helping us continue building Dream Oaks Camp and creating the best possible experience for our campers! 💙
