2. Camp Summit Is… 2A weekly, overnight camp for children, adults and seniors with special needs where they are encouraged to step outside of their ordinary, highly structured routines, and make their own decisions about what to wear, where to go, and how to interact in group activities. It’s a great day when campers gain the confidence to try new things and shatter previously held beliefs about their abilities, becoming a little more independent in the process! Imagine a child never being picked in gym class to be on a team who is now the captain of the camp’s basketball team!Imagine an adult abandoning his wheelchair and successfully completing all the elements of the ropes course, including the Big Finish…. zip lining down from the tall tower…as his friends cheer him on! THIS is Camp Summit.
