Camp Care Statement: August 25, 2022

Camp Care has been serving our community for 20 years. It has been a joy to see hundreds of people develop, grow, and reach new goals through the various programs offered here.

Unfortunately, the expenses incurred by the riding program way exceed the financial and physical support needed to sustain this program. Along with the need for various facility improvements to maintain safety, we find ourselves at a loss. The Board of Directors has concluded that we are unable to continue the riding program at this point in time.

Therefore, we are sad to announce that the Camp Care Riding Program will be ending in September at the end of this current session. The horses will return to their owners by the end of October. We will do our best to offer guidance to the many riders who have benefited from this form of therapy over the years.

We look forward to continuing the Boot Camp and Intensive day program and establishing new programs to continue to serve our community.

With deep gratitude we celebrate all that we have been a part of through the Therapeutic Riding Program at Camp Care. We are grateful to the many hands and hearts who have been dedicated to its service and success for the past 20 years.

Questions and comments can be directed to the Board of Directors and/or Stephen and Laureen Moran through email at info@campcarekids.org


A Warm Welcome to Camp Care

Our Mission is to help children and individuals with special needs reach their highest potential physical and cognitive function while enhancing self-esteem and emotional growth.

Camp Care Inc., a not-for-profit organization that began as a day camp in 1997, has evolved into year-round programs. The expanding programs offer various ways to enhance the developmental process in children and individuals with special needs, as well as provide an avenue for people to get involved with community service opportunities. Our boot camp program allows modified physical fitness classes two Saturdays a month throughout the year. The intensive spring, summer, and winter day program offers physical therapy for the child and a chance for families to enjoy each other while finding a network of support from other families.

Camp Care therapies are provided at the Crossroads Physical Therapy Facility, and recreational activities are held within the Camp Care grounds and community. Meaningful and enjoyable experiences motivate children with special needs to actively participate in educational and therapeutic exercises, resulting in more effective treatment outcomes. Camp Care therapists and parents have witnessed first-hand these positive outcomes in children who have attended our programs.

Camp Care is open to people of all faiths as well as to those with no particular religious affiliation. This is where community begins – acceptance, development, faith, hope and love.
