Making Summer Camp Accessible For All

Sleeping in a cabin, singing camp songs, and eating camp food are some of the simple things that some do not get to experience because of differences in ability. The Salvation Army is taking steps to make that experience accessible to all. High Peak Camp in Estes Park, CO launched an adaptive camp the summer of 2022, where campers of any ability were welcomed. 

Zip lining and archery were some of the activities made accessible to everyone, including campers with cerebral palsy and other disabilities. Staff made this possible with the right equipment, training, and perspective. 

“It can seem scary to try, but it's so rewarding for us to be able to do this and see the joy on their faces.” Nick Helms, Divisional Youth Secretary
