A place where different is just the way things are ✨

FASD shapes how a child learns, remembers, and handles the everyday. For most of the year, many of our campers are the only kid in the room who needs directions one more time, a quieter corner, or a little more patience.
At CAMP, that is the whole room. Counselors are trained in the approach that works for kids with FASD: dependable structure, clear and brief directions, and encouragement that never runs out. With a 2:1 camper-to-staff ratio, on-site nurses, and a clinical team, campers get to try the climbing wall, the kayak, and the campfire song at their own pace, and caregivers get a week to rest knowing their child is safe.
A week at CAMP costs $2,595 per camper, while tuition is $1,195, and many families need help with even that. Your gift closes the gap, so no family has to say no to CAMP because of money.
Every dollar counts. Every camper matters. ☀️✨💚

1️⃣2️⃣ DAYS LEFT ☀️ Today our Cabin Leader, Morgan, shares her why ✨For myself, CAMP is about compassion and understanding and acceptance. Every single year that I’ve come to CAMP, I have felt as soon as I drove down the path, a huge sense of belonging and passion that I have never experienced anywhere else. To see campers return to each other after a year of being apart, and the smiles on their faces create such fulfillment in myself that this is a community that is worth all of my time and energy too as much as I can. I have learned so much about myself from the campers and how I respond to difficulties and hardship and it’s a great privilege to be able to learn from them. I fear I would have extreme FOMO if I ever had a miss a year of CAMP.💚

Day 5️⃣ of ✨ CAMP wouldn’t be possible without our incredible staff. Our BHT Jordan shares what camp means to her and her WHY 💚

I’ve spent most of my life volunteering with kids - at summer camps, after-school programs in under-resourced communities, and programs serving children with special needs. But nothing has moved me quite like CAMP.

There is something incredibly powerful about watching a child walk into a place where, maybe for the first time, they don’t feel like they’re the one who is different and the environment is designed to help them thrive.

I’ve watched kids who struggle to find connection elsewhere make lifelong friends, discover their strengths, and truly come alive. And when kids tell me they wish CAMP could be longer because it’s the only place they’ve ever truly felt at home, it’s hard to put into words what that means.
For one week, they don’t have to wonder if they belong.
They know they do.

On day 4️⃣ of we bring you a a special message from Carter and Vail of Group 1 ✨ 🏕️💚

What is FASD? Let’s talk about it👇

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition affecting the brain and body. It occurs when a person is exposed to alcohol before birth, leading to unique strengths as well as challenges with learning, motor skills, memory, and emotional regulation.

Because FASD is often invisible, many people go undiagnosed or misunderstood.

How common is it ⁉️
1 in 20 people in North America are estimated to live with FASD—making it more prevalent than Autism, Down Syndrome, and Tourette’s combined.

At CAMP, we build a space where individuals with FASD can explore, connect, and grow—at their own pace, in their own way. 🏕️✨
