Y outh with Disabilities
Our youth with disabilities programs are de-signed to help youth look beyond their disability and e that they can do anything they put their mind to; to try things that they do not think they can accomplish and succeed. Activities are planned with each group’s abilities in mind so that everyone
will succeed.
How Wild is Y our School?
A new program in 2008, “How Wild is Y our School?” is a fun and thought provoking way to teach students about the world around them. Camptown takes this program to local schools and brings outdoor education to everyday life through hands on learning experiences that not only teach students about nature, but also help to develop a love for the environment.
Service Projects
Service projects enable youth to better rve their communities and become better citizens. Whether cleaning up a portion of the White River, working on trail restoration, or rving meals to the homeless, Camptown rvice projects enable youth to better rve their com-munities and become good citizens.
